A five-year-old boy leads his blind sister through a temple in the mountains, and the film spends an hour watching him see the world for both of them. The animation renders every leaf and stone with such care that the landscape becomes a character itself, patient and alive in ways most films rush past. By the end, you understand that this was never about plot, it was about a child learning that love is the only thing worth guiding someone toward.

Five-year-old Gil-son lives at a remote mountain temple with his older sister Gam-i, who cannot see. The two orphans once wandered looking for a home, with the young boy acting as his sister's guide, until a kind monk took them in on Mt. Seorak. Gil-son is pure-hearted and befriends every living thing, talking with clouds, birds and flowers, but his rowdy ways keep landing him in trouble at the temple. For all his disregard for proper manners, he may be nearer to enlightenment than anyone expects. The adventure drama adapts a popular fairy tale by Jeong Chae-bong and won the Best Feature Film award at the 2004 Annecy festival.
