The city’s demolition order, which is implemented ahead of the construction of apartment buildings, turns the last few days in Haengbok-dong, Nagwon-gu, into hell. The narrator’s father, a dwarf, works as a laborer; his mother works in a printing shop; and the narrator and his siblings also work to death.
