A tender, contemplative journey across generations where an old man's promise and a caged bird become vessels for discovering love, duty, and the values of the heart.

In order to keep a promise he made to his wife, an old man sets off to her native village with a bird in a cage. Along the road, together with his granddaughter, he discovers new values, particularly those related to the heart.
