Two boys go to live in a temple. Sundong is sent there when his mother is deported, while Sundoo goes voluntarily when he is tempted to kill himself after suffering from school violence. The film starts with a scene where two boys shave their heads and continues to focus on their lives rather than on the temple itself. They have different skin colors and personal backgrounds, but they manage to get along. When they begin to understand and lean on each other, they are confronted with decisions to make. Sundoo chooses to leave while Sundong, who planned to leave when he reached his third year of middle school, chooses to stay. Life is something you never know and so is destiny. According to Buddhist teachings, you have to sow first before you reap. Following the lives of two little monks, you will be drawn to the sad relationships they are surrounded by and begin to feel for them. Maybe it is time for you to reap what has been sowed in the film.
