Synopsis:
Single mom Vicky, in the last three years since adopting precious
Akasha from Cambodia, is still amazed by the miracles that
spontaneously unfold around her. Eight-year-old Akasha is the epitome
of pure love and wisdom; it doesn’t take any effort for her to spread love
to the most troubled soul, to shed light upon the darkest of thoughts and
to emanate joy wherever she goes. One sunny fall afternoon, three lives
are deeply touched by Akasha’s powerful presence and play.
