A little boy adores and looks up to his father who says he works as a painter, but the missing toes on his foot tell a different story. Extremely hard-working and determined to provide his son with everything that he can, be it a notebook or cycling lessons, he leaves no stone unturned in pushing himself. However, amidst the love and innocence, it is clear that something troubling is brewing right under the surface. When the narrative reaches the point of revelation, the little boy is left facing a circumstance his young age has not prepared him for, and yet, the conclusion provides an uplifting glimpse into his approach that is eventually marked by a sweet, and complete devotion towards his father.
