Nine-year-old Hani is a fearless troublemaker, a pint-sized punk who commands his school friends like underlings and rules his family with an iron fist. His favorite target is his older brother, HanByul, whose frequent complaints of illness only invite more teasing.

A parent's worst nightmare becomes reality with a diagnosis of cancer, forcing the young tyrant to confront a vulnerability he never understood. This story is drawn from real life.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film masterfully navigates the precarious line between childhood innocence and adult despair, refusing to cheapen its tragedy with easy sentiment. The director treats the illness not as a mere metaphor, but as a seismic event that fractures a boy's carefully constructed universe.

What lingers after the credits is the raw portrait of a family hierarchy undone, and a small, defiant tyrant learning the language of helplessness and compassion. A story of growth forged in the most painful of fires. — MovieFinder Editorial

A jarring shift from sun-drenched, mischievous normality to the muted, sterile corridors of a hospital.
