Synopsis
Set in a small village in the Kanwondo region, centers on a 9 year old girl, her brother Tong-gu--who is mentally handicapped--and their father Hyegon. Hyegon has an accident in the mines, loses his job and receives no compensation. It becomes increasingly difficult to hold onto hope, to find another job and to cope with his children. His daughter takes her brother to an institute for handicapped pupils. A date is fixed for the demolition of their home. She decides to do all she can to help her father. So she adds a drop to his food. A little, a little more and then a little more.
