Ash, a young boy living in a remote farming village, holds a secret, he possesses memories of a distant and more bountiful past life. Days of toiling in the fields have given rise to a burning desire: to bring more enjoyment to the everyday doldrum of his dreary present day. And while books may be the answer, Ash can’t actually read. 

Join Ash as he battles illiteracy and sets his sights on a better life!
