Story:
Ga-mi and her younger brother Gil-son lives alone after their mother passed away in a fire accident. Ga-mi is a gentle and reserved blind girl, while Gil-son is hyperactive and often gets into mischief.

The two seek refuge at a Mahayana Buddhist temple, helping with the chores, as they cope with the loss of their mother and home several years ago due to a fire accident, which is also where Ga-mi lost her sight. Gil-son, too young to understand, still believes they will find their mother someday as Ga-mi has never told him she died in the fire.

Soon later Gil-Son accompanies a monk to go meditate in the mountains and find a cure for his sister's blindness, but ends up sacrificing his life for Ga-mi's sight.

L² Comment:
Oseam is a small buddhist temple which located at the South Korea. This movie is a very touching animation from Korea production, which you guys should never miss. But it might be a bit too much for kids.
