Au cours de son périple il redécouvre son pays où sur son chemin de nombreux obstacles le retardent. Néanmoins, sans se plaindre, avec ténacité, décidé à revoir les siens, il fait tout son possible pour les rejoindre, au besoin en courant dans les immenses étendues qui le séparent de sa maison. Finalement, il retrouve sa mère qui a vieilli, son garçon de dix ans qui ne le connaît pas et avec lequel il n'arrive pas à communiquer malgré l'affection qu'il voudrait lui témoigner.
