- Synopsis
- In 1963, Esther gave birth to Roland, the youngest sibling of a large family. Roland was born with a clubfoot that prevented him from standing.
  
  Against everyone's advice, she promised her son that he would be able to walk just like everyone else and have a wonderful life.
  From that moment on, Esther devoted herself fully to ensuring this promise came true.
  
  Spanning decades of hardships and miracles, this film is the story of an incredible destiny and the greatest love of all: a mother's love for her child.
