No longer as young and strong as he once was, Aziz begins to notice that his health is deteriorating. The active life he has led has taken a toll on his heart. Realizing that he is nearing the end of his life, he wants to correct a mistake he made in the past and has been tormented by for a long time before leaving this world.
