A peasant couple gave birth to a boy, but brain disease changed him and his family’s life when he was only a baby. Although life is already very harsh, and they must shoulder this burden alone, they never lose hope and never despair of finding a doctor able to help him. When the boy falls ill, they make impossible efforts to cure him, or at the very least lessen his suffering. With the boy’s life in danger, the parents are ready to confront all odds together with the child, and this boundless love maintains his life throughout.
