| Synopsis |
| This is a story about love, loss, and let-go. Amy, a little girl who misses her grandfather and can not accept his passing away, still keeps imagining she can see him again. Chung, Amy's grandfather, who earned extensive wisdom from his struggling life, always told her, 'Life is just like dandelions. When the wind comes, they leave, but they won't disappear. They are just going to a new place to start a new life...' These words are embedded in Amy's heart, but she never notices that. However, while she keeps feeling sad of her grandfather's death, a dandelion seed arouses this hidden treasure in her mind again. Finally, this precious gift brings her away from the eternal despondency and gives her infinite courage to release her mind. |
