Roland was born with a clubfoot that prevents him from standing. Against everyone's advice, she promises her son that he will walk like everyone else and will have an extraordinary life. From that moment on, Esther would stop at nothing to keep that promise. Spanning decades of trials and life's miracles, this film tells a true story, funny and moving, about an incredible destiny and the greatest love of all: a mother's love for her child.
