Pepe is a shy young painter who lost his parents at sea when he was a child. Raised by his grandmother and often bullied at school, he grows up lonely and unsure of himself. After his grandmother passes away, Pepe lives alone and fills his days with painting. His life begins to change when he receives a commission to paint the famous world boxer Rocco, and meets Isabella, a museum guard who brings new light into his life. One night, while sleeping in the museum storage room, Pepe realizes something important. Greatness does not come from becoming someone else… but from being yourself.
