In a small, impoverished town, a young boy named Sabu lives with his blind mother. Their life is one of quiet hardship, and Sabu often finds himself the target of bullying by the local children. One day, a mysterious stranger arrives in town, offering a solution to their struggles: he claims he can restore the mother's sight through a peculiar and unsettling method. The procedure, however, comes with a heavy and ambiguous price, forcing Sabu to confront a moral dilemma that blurs the lines between hope and exploitation.
The boy must decide whether to accept the stranger's offer, knowing that the cure might bring unforeseen consequences. As he navigates the pressures from his community and his own desperate desire to help his mother, Sabu uncovers the dark truths behind the stranger's promises. The story explores themes of sacrifice, trust, and the lengths one will go to for family, set against a bleak post-war Japanese landscape.
