Joachim , this is a very simple draw .

You go with your king to the corner and never leave it again .

When white c-pawn advances final rank sac your bishop for it .

If eval was simply 0.00 though there would be no difference for white just
saccing its bishop him“/her/itself right from the start as this is just as much
draw as trying to trick black ( who might not understand this position )
