Experiencing Interruptions?

Ra-ra-ra

A retired officer miraculously remains alive after suffering a stroke. He returns home from the hospital helpless, with paralysis of his arm and leg. In addition, he loses the ability to speak.
Life is meaningless to him. But everyday events make him rejoice, laugh, get angry and even flirt, causing a whole palette of feelings that he has learned to express in two phrases that sound either menacing or comical. The love of loved ones and a variety of emotions color his every day, supporting the smoldering desire to live.
