Storyline
Synopsis/ Storyline: In a city bank, Janet, a dismissive and prejudiced bank teller, meets her match when Alex, a determined man with ALS, comes to discuss a business loan for his groundbreaking tech venture. Faced with Janet's scorn and disbelief, Alex maintains his dignity, undeterred by her derogatory remarks. The janitor, a former tech student with a keen eye for innovation, discovers the potential in Alex's work and helps bring it to the attention of the bank manager, Mr. Harrison. This encounter leads to a reassessment of both Janet's and the janitor's roles within the bank. The story unfolds themes of perseverance, the importance of not judging by appearances, and the unexpected places where talent and innovation can be found.
