U-il thinks he can fly like his favorite cartoon character Toto the Astroboy. His older sister, eleven-year-old U-mi, is doing her best to look after him since their mother died and their father deserted them. Now all they have are their well-meaning but unhelpful neighbors - the Moons, Landlady Grandma, the weightlifting Mr. Yi and his squawking widow bird - and despair is leading U-mi to mimic her father's behavior, abusing the one person closest to her.
