English: Why Am I Here?

Synopsis:

A child trying to understand the world stands on a rock with a binocular in hand, imagining what it would be like to live in a bustling city or a desert. They ponder the life of a refugee who has experienced war, the children toiling under harsh conditions, and the people ravaged by the fury of nature. Is living somewhere else harder than they imagined? «Why Am I Here?» invites readers to empathize with people living in different regions and circumstances around the world, while also providing a new perspective on our own lives.
