Devasteted, his father, Dr. Wen, left Iowa City, his home of twenty years, and moved to Miami.

Six years after Felix's death, a boy from Peru, Sabastian, comes to receive treatment for cancer from Dr. Contrast to Wen. Sabastian's optimism brings a new perspective to Dr. Wen. Through the stories of the two adolescents and Dr. Wen's loving concern for them, the documentary portrays with touching compassion of the transcience, struggles, mysteriousness and preciousness of life.
