Plot
Sukiri is a helpless boy. He lives with his grandmother. At one point he sneaks into the school at a time when he can no longer control that desire. Eventually the school disciplinary teacher captures Sukiri and takes it to the principal.
When the principal hears Sukiri's details, he feels sorry for him. So the principal tells Sukiri to come with a guardian. Sukiri immediately comes looking for her grandmother. But the end has not yet stopped the search for Sukiri. All his hopes were dashed when he saw his grandmother die of a heart attack the same day. He begins to make a living by selling solitary candy books. Meanwhile, he accidentally meets the school principal on the road.
Sukira's fate changes at that moment. Recognizing him, the principal brings Sukiri to his house. The principal treats Sukiri like a child. That was due to the loss of children to his family. However, the principal's wife, Sukiri, is also abusive and blames the principal.
