One day, a deaf young guy from Istanbul named Muharrem came out of the house and found that everyone he encounters on the street knows sign language. Soon his surprise was replaced by total bewilderment, since everything that was happening was very similar to a miracle. Such a "miracle" became possible thanks to the cooperation of Samsung and the advertising agency Leo Burnett, who taught sign language to residents of the area where Muharrem lives for a whole month.
