A thoughtful examination of an elderly man undergoing physical rehabilitation. His journey begins with massage, from his hands to his feet. Then, simple, rudimentary movement of the joints. Soon, he’s on his feet, shuffling with the assistance of a walker, and an inspiring sequence shows the man dressing himself. His remarkable progress is made clear when he traverses a flight of practice steps. The short ends when the patient drives himself away triumphantly.
