Ultimately, "Mon Bazu" is a story of resilience. It is the whisper of the veteran who salutes with an empty sleeve. It is the prayer of the elderly farmer who can no longer lift the plow but still walks the field. It is the cry of the artist whose medium has been taken away, who then invents a new medium.
