Plot synopsis
Valka can't keep her balance. To stand and walk, she uses canes, and to run, she rides a bicycle. For Valka, the world is full of dangers and disasters. How can you face the world if you're only nine years old and you fall when you put your foot down clumsily or when someone pushes you even slightly? To find balance, Valka invented a mantra: "I am a true samurai!" It is with this mantra that he takes his first courageous and independent steps towards the world.
