Description:

Festival centers on a struggling MC and his younger sister, whose lives take a drastic turn when their long-hospitalized father unexpectedly passes away. Faced with the immediate burden of funeral expenses and no means to pay, the MC secretly travels to a distant province to work at a birthday party. His desperate attempt to secure funds leads him into an unforeseen disturbance, forcing him into a deeply ironic predicament: he must celebrate another family's joy while his own father's send-off is delayed. Back home, his sister waits alone in the funeral hall, unaware of her brother's perilous journey. The film poignantly reveals life's profound ironies and the unequal burdens people carry. Through a tumultuous series of events, encompassing one festival and two funerals, the siblings' suffering ultimately transforms into resilience, paving the way for a new, stronger beginning amidst their grief.
