Pablo is the grandson of Don Isidoro, who is his town’s mano santa, or healer. When Pablo comes to visit the old man the two solemnly share their daily routines in the Puerto Rican countryside. Upon discovering the real reason for his grandson’s visit, however, Don Isidoro recognizes that he must accept the things he cannot change, and in doing so illustrates the true meaning of human understanding and sensitivity.
