For Maruge (played by Oliver Litondo), learning is the happiest thing in his life. However, at the age of 84, he can no longer relive the joyful times of the classroom. The free education policy implemented in Kenya has given Maruge new hope, and he wishes to become one of the many students benefiting from it. Maruge's persistence and passion touch teacher Jane (played by Naomie Harris), but do not persuade the school officials and many parents. There is a unified and loud outcry against a retired soldier returning to the classroom surrounded by a group of children. Meanwhile, Jane faces punishment for supporting Maruge. Seeing the kind person who helped him suffer unfair treatment, the angry Maruge decides to never give in; he wants to challenge the rigid government.
