SYNOPSIS
He is a silent man. He walks the streets, watching, looking for the right place. He finds it in the middle of a market. He sets up a stand. But instead of selling his goods, the silent man gives them away for free. The other sellers watch. They feel provoked. The situation escalates. They lose control. But, in the end, there is hope.PHOTOS
