In a diverse Cleveland neighborhood, a Vietnamese girl plants six lima beans in a vacant lot, starting a community project. Watched suspiciously by a Romanian woman, the initiative soon involves a school janitor, a Guatemalan family, and other neighbors. As the garden flourishes, so does a sense of community, uniting people from different backgrounds and cultures. This moving story, told through multiple voices, celebrates the power of human connection and the transformation that can arise from a simple act of hope.
