A man is driving his red truck. He is a man like many others, on a truck like so many, in an ordinary place. And the day might seem ordinary too, were it not that in the back of his truck there is something unexpected. It's a small thing, as are many other things. A trifle. A detail. You might not even notice it. But the man sees it and pays attention: this turns it into something exceptional, something which could suddenly change the world. This is a wonderful story about the strength of the empathy that unites us to others; on the deep intelligence of affection; on, the importance of personal responsibility; on the true meaning of love and happiness.
