🌼 Synopsis

Li Ahh and Li Ohm grow up without a mother. Their father, Sui, spends his days mending broken mannequins — a man emotionally distant from the world and from his two sons, the only reminders of the woman he once loved.

While Sui shuts himself away, the boys roam the streets like wildflowers in the cracks of a city — free, fearless, and full of mischief. They find a stray puppy, and in caring for it, discover the warmth and loyalty missing from their home.

When the puppy is sent away, the boys are heartbroken — and for the first time, Sui feels the stirrings of love he thought he had lost. It may not be too late to mend what truly matters.
