An extraordinary encounter with another human being.

A spiritual fable about an alienated, gifted outsider whose miraculous powers offer redemption and transformation to those around him, grounded in themes of acceptance and transcendence.
Harassed by classmates who won't accept his shocking appearance, a shy young man known as "Powder" struggles to fit in. But the cruel taunts stop when Powder displays a mysterious power that allows him to do incredible things. This phenomenon changes the lives of all those around him in ways they never could have imagined.
