The film is endearing and innocent in equal measure. Devoid of any dialogue, it ties its smooth visuals only with a background score to present forth the development of events. The scene is of a village during the coronavirus pandemic when a mother gives a piece of cloth to her young son to be worn as a mask. It is an object which is of great use to her and it's absence a great inconvenience.
However, as the story would have it, the son also has another skill up his sleeve. He figures out a way, in a lovely fashion, to keep both him and his mother safe, while also return her the object he had borrowed. The film is honest and well-intentioned in its approach, and leaves the viewer with a sense of warmth, using a winning portrayal of its story.
