Synopsis: It?s something natural, that eyes and the feelings are the most important in a human life. However, sometimes the man becomes only a little part in the circle of destiny. What he experiences now, he will understand later. He doesn?t realise he helped another human being, but after one night his life has changed. And not only his.
