However, the village also has Rosie Cantor, a calm healer who tends to the sick with her year-round blooming flowers. Benny, never curious before, becomes fascinated by Rosie and the flowers she carries in a covered basket. As Benny grows old and falls ill, he longs to see these flowers before he passes. Rosie brings him the mysterious basket filled with beautiful blooms, and Benny understands the mystery and beauty he has yearned for all his life before he passes.
