About this Short Film
Hello: She is a young woman who is deaf. But it is not just her hearing loss that worries her; years of isolation, failure, and rejection have extinguished the light within her and she is falling into a mental breakdown. Her paintings have been ridiculed, her dreams have been trampled upon, and her talent is hidden in the shadow of her disability. One difficult day, Salam makes her final decision. She goes out, holding the rope of death in her hand and carrying broken hope in her heart. She sees a church, enters it, kneels down and prays with tears. Then she throws the rope in her hand to the ground. Although her decision to end her life has changed, she finds no reason to live. But when she leaves the church, she meets someone who changes her life. Blessing; a blind clown. Although he cannot see the world, he sees people with love. His smile is contagious, and his peace is hopeful. Peace looks at him in shock; she has lost the reason to live despite having full sight, but he is embracing life with love despite not being able to see. When you ask him, "How can you be so happy?", Bereket says something simple: "Believing... and living within" 'A psychologically difficult speech These few and profound words will change the life of peace. Months pass, and the hopeless girl transforms into a celebrated artist. Her paintings appear on the stage, her story. Blessings are on her side; and the woman who cannot drown and the man who cannot see fall in love, finding the melody of love in their hearts.

ሀያል ወልድን፣ ፍቅር ከፋኖ፣ አበሞት አደረሰውን ሰዎች፣ በቀንዶ የማይበረታታ ለሚያሉትም ሰዎች አንገቱን የሚያዘነብልን ይደንቅ በሚል ፊት የማይናገር ነው። በመከራው ጊዜ በሚወጉት ፊት አኩን ያልገበለጸም ትግስት ነው።
የስክል ወዳጅ ክቡር ከውስጧት ነው፤ የተገኘ ልጅ እንደምን ያለነው በውስጧ ሰው ካልገባባት፣ አዳራሽ የተገኘ ጽዋ እንደምን ያለነው። ፈጽሞ የተለየ ሳይሆን፣ ከዚህ የተለየ ትምህርተ መስቀል ምን ድንቅ ነው። መልኩላሚ አይሟ ነው፤ እንጂ መለኮ ሰውነቱ ተፈጽሞ የተለየ እንዳይደለም። እንዲሁም የትምህርት መስቀል ከዚህ ውስጥ ተፈሞ የተለየ ነው።
እኔ መስማት የተሳ ነኝ፤ እና የከፋኝ ሰው ነኝ። እንዴት አንተ ደስተኛ ልትሆን ቻልክ? አምኖ መቀበልና ወደ ውስጥ መኖር ነው።
