This film is about a man who wants to prove to the whole world that hope never dies. He is 40. Although the life has not been kind to him, he lived with hope and optimism. His hands don't function since his birth. But this did not lead him to desperation and resentment of God. He expresses himself through his drawings which he draws with his feet. He doesn't ask people for help or depend on them. Instead he earns his daily bread by his work. You might have seen him on the underground passages, attentively and lovingly working over a piece of paper, he draws portraits of passer by women.
