A young boy named Dat navigates a new environment where everyone speaks a language he doesn't understand.
Dat's first day at a new school in a foreign land is daunting. Every word sounds like gibberish, and making friends seems impossible. But when a kind classmate shows him that communication goes beyond words, hope emerges. Can this unexpected friendship bridge the language gap and help Dat find his place in a new world?
It’s Dat’s first day of school in a new country! Dat and his Mah made a long journey to get here, and Dat doesn’t know the language. To Dat, everything everybody says - from the school bus driver to his new classmates - sounds like gibberish. How is Dat going to make new friends if they can’t understand each other? Luckily there’s a friendly girl in Dat’s class who knows that there are other ways to communicate, besides just talking. Could she help make sense of the gibberish?
