A young boy coming to terms with his father's civil disobedience.

Aslam helplessly looks on as his father is arrested. The latter disobeyed the English authorities by collecting salt, too heavily taxed, to resell it. The boy is beset by doubt: why did his father, this gentle and honest man break the law? When he learns that Gandhi is on his way to his village, Jalapur, Aslam finds hope again. He needs to go talk to him. Maybe he can give him an explanation and have his father released?
