Courage can be described in many ways. This small documentary slowly presents a life story that shows how a person can incredibly overcome physical obstacles but also who without fear can go beyond the mental obstacle of facing any question about why we are here and where we are going.
At first the style of the film seemed ordinary, typical short interviews. But the experience grows on you.

At the same time we are always reminded of the physical struggle of this man, how he has more than endured but triumphed.
