A blind seven year old boy wakes up in the morning.

His sister takes the boy to a park on her way to school. Here he enjoys the sun and meets the ice cream seller Abram. They both become friends, talk and Abram gives him an ice cream. The positive aspect in his life is contrasted with negative ones: later he goes with his sister into a grocery store, where the blind boy accidentally damages the window.
