Three Days Before the Shooting (2010)

But what a feeling can come over a man just from seeing the things he believes in and hopes for symbolized in the concrete form of a man.

Something that makes unseen things manifest and allows him to come to his hopes and dreams through his outer eye and through the touch and feel of his natural hand.
