Synopsis
Centers on a father who finally becomes aware of his children and their emotions. Sui is too busy with work to pay attention to his two sons Li Ahh and Li Ohm. The two boys have speech impediments and are always getting themselves in trouble. And unlike other children, they have no sense of the absence of their mother. One day, as the two brothers sit in front of the school gates, Li Ohm puts a white flower in his pocket. But the boys have no idea that a white flower means that one's mother has passed away. Sui watches his sons bringing a sick homeless dog home and taking care of it, and realizes they need love and attention. Later, he goes on a trip with his sons.
