"Narges" a congenitally blind poet and Tehran Municipality employee, is transferred to a new institute, an academy for blind youth, after her previous library closes. Determined to revitalize the center, she decides to offer English classes—an opportunity she missed as a child.
At the academy, Narges teaches Braille, builds close relationships with her students, and enriches their lives with activities like audiobooks and trips. She faces challenges in creating accessible English materials, requiring support from individuals and benefactors to buy a brail printer and stablish English class.

Synopsis:

"Narges," a congenitally blind girl, is a poet and an official employee of the Tehran Municipality. She was previously the director of a library for the blind, but now that the library has closed, she requests a transfer to another department. Her request is approved, and she is transferred to "Baghcheh Havas" (Garden of Senses), an academy for blind children and teenagers in Tehran, to organize various classes for them.

This center operates under the supervision of the Tehran Municipality, is self-managed, and relies on the support of benefactors. She is concerned about starting anew, but her mother reassures her that she can handle this task as well. Narges wishes to revitalize the center because her main concern is blind children. Although she teaches Braille, she did not have the opportunity to learn English as a blind child. Now, she wants to hold English language classes for children at the center.

At Baghcheh Havas, she conducts Braille classes for children and teenagers and builds close and friendly relationships with her students. They share their hopes and worries with her. She spends time with them, prepares audiobooks, takes them on trips to the Artists' House, and even checks their homework at night.

Simultaneously, Narges pursues setting up English language classes. However, this approach has complexities. She needs to make illustrated books accessible to blind children by transcribing the book's explanations into Braille. Therefore, a sighted person must type the book's descriptions, which she then converts into Braille and finally prints for the class. In a meeting with a typist and a volunteer English teacher, she takes the first step toward establishing the language class. A benefactor promises to cover the costs of preparing the language books for the blind.

She also asks her friends to introduce instructors willing to voluntarily hold music classes, orientation classes, and computer classes for blind children.

In Narges's family, both her brother and father are congenitally blind. Her father is also a poet and works in Persian literature. Narges's grandmother, who has Alzheimer's disease and requires 24-hour care, poses a challenge for the family, especially when news arrives that she has hit her caregiver.

During her efforts to establish the English class and other classes, the benefactor who had promised cooperation withdraws, and her attempts to secure support from other benefactors are unsuccessful.

Nevertheless, she proceeds to hold the English class through personal effort. She needs a Braille printer, but since no benefactor is cooperating, she stays up the night before typing out each of the children's English lesson sheets herself.

One day, while trying to book an online taxi, Narges's mobile phone is stolen, and she loses poems she hadn't yet backed up. She is saddened and upset but doesn't let it stop her from living her life.

One of the students who comes to Baghcheh Havas to learn Braille is **Mr. Younesi**, a middle-aged man who became blind after consuming contaminated alcohol. The relationship between teacher and student is friendly and close.

Gradually, Baghcheh Havas flourishes, and classes are regularly held. Reporters visit the center to prepare stories. However, problems arise for Narges at work.

She is upset about an issue: the distrust and ingratitude of Baghcheh Havas's management toward her, monitoring her, and even hiring someone to watch over her. Narges becomes so discouraged that she decides to leave the center.

But the mothers and other staff members oppose her departure and ask her to stay. She informs her senior manager about the situation and consults with her father.

Coinciding with her birthday, Narges travels to Isfahan to soothe her spirit and visits her blind friend Shirin, who lives alone.

Meanwhile, the friendly relationship between Narges and Mr. Younesi gradually develops into a romantic one. Mr. Younesi also asks Narges to remain at Baghcheh Havas.

Narges decides to stay to make the trees of the garden, which have borne fruit, even more fruitful and lush than before.
