Summary:
Artist Sakumat and eleven-year-old chronically ill Madurer forge a beautiful friendship as the painter brings landscapes to life in the boy's windowless rooms.
Long, long ago, a boy lies confined by sickness to a few windowless rooms. He can never experience the outside world, never breathe fresh air or feel the warmth of the sun on his skin, so his doting father summons a painter to embelish his rooms with beautiful murals. The artist sets to work, and soon there is a fabulous world on the walls, a colorful, shifting landscape peopled by shepherds and lovers, crisscrossed by armies and pirate ships. As the boy's health fades, the artist paints on, turning the simple commission into a labor of love. Can he show this child the richness and beauty of the world -- and of life itself -- with nothing paints and brushes?
