[1] The film focuses on Baek Yeo-min (Kim Seok), a thoughtful and mature nine-year-old boy living in 1970s Korea.

During a school punishment, he meets a haughty new girl named Jang Woo-rim (Lee Se-young).

For many months they happily spend time together, but their relationship ends when she has to move back to Seoul to live with her father.

Woo-rim later tells a surprised Yeo-rim that she is actually in love with him, and she leaves him a present: a pair of glasses for his mother.

Walking away with his friends in the snow at the end of the movie, he looks back at her with a glum expression on his face.
