Lennates ühe mootoriga (India/USA 2008)
Autor Joshua Weinstein

Doktor Sharadkumar Dicksheet on plastilise kirurgia meister, kes elab New Yorgis ja liigub ringi ratastoolis. Doktor on pärast autoõnnetust poolest kehast halvatud ning ka rääkimine on tal peaaegu võimatu. Mees on võidelnud vähiga ning teda on tabanud mitu infarkti. Oma tervislikust seisundist hoolimata mõtleb Sharadkumar Dicksheet aina inimestele, kes on astunud siia ilma suurte sünnitraumadega. Kord aastas lendab ta oma sünnimaale Indiasse, kus teeb tasuta plastilisi operatsioone moondunud näoga lastele.
