Bory, a 7-year-old girl, goes to the market to get sprouts, meanders through sunlit gardens and people's houses, watches a stick-ball game and listens to people's conversations on the street. On the way back from the market, though, she gets lost and wanders through the living room of a very old man in a straw hat. He seems friendly, but can he help her find her way?

At 86, Joy Johnson is well known on the “Today Show” where she appeared after every race to get a kiss from Al Roker. She didn’t start running until age 60, and in 2013, she was the oldest woman to ever run the New York City Marathon. Her time was a respectable eight hours, but her best time at the marathon, in 1999, was three hours, 55 minutes. Joy, in person, is exactly like her name implies.
