Jerome is a beautiful human being. Honest, joyful, adorable, mentally and physically challenged, he is impaired with Cerebral Palsy. Via is a scattered prostitute, tired, unsuccessful, bitter and lonely. On the eve of his 40th birthday, Jerome makes a unique proposal to Via, who instantly rejects him. Un-burdened by any kind of ego, Jerome does not however take no for an answer because he has a dream that only she can help fulfill. GRACE, a story about how a "disabled" soul can enlighten a "normal" one when not taken for granted.
