Flower in the Pocket

Li Ahh and Li Ohm grow up motherless. Their father Sui is a workaholic who spends most of his time mending broken mannequins. While Sui shuts himself out from the world, the two brothers grow up with all the freedom of neglected children. They roam the streets, get into fights and other trouble in school. Along the way, they adopt a stray puppy, which becomes the most important thing in their lives. When the puppy is sent away for being a nuisance, the boys are devastated. Sui is very much affected by his boys’ strong emotional attachment to the puppy. For the very first time, he realizes that he is still able to love and he’s going to do something about it before it’s too late.
