The teacher at an Indonesian village school asks his pupils to write down their dreams, the most modest of which is Agus’. He wants to eat at the best restaurant in the village. At home there is nothing but tofu on the menu, brought by his father every day from the factory where he works. Agus’ fellow pupils laugh at his simple wish, which seems much easier to attain than being an actress, soldier or Spiderman. But even the smallest wish can’t be fulfilled if you don’t do something about it, and Agus’ persistence and cleverness earns him some unexpected support.
