The burden of life fell on Kiba and his sister. As the pillar of the family, Kiba works in a supermarket in the town, always working with his brother Yali, the huge pressure of life has nowhere to vent, he obediently becomes Mrs. Kahua's lover, every time in the name of home delivery to her house to steal love, the two are almost known, once even almost bumped by her husband.
During Kiba's absence, Yali secretly climbed the towering water tower, because it was too dangerous, attracting everyone to watch, the police came to try to rescue, but Yali was indifferent to the police's advice, or Kibb used his song to lead his brother to climb down, passing Becky and other people applauded him, Kiba once again promised the sheriff that this would never happen again.
Friends come to help repair the wooden house, and see Kiba taking the initiative to hold the child peeking through the window at his mother, saying that it is not right to do so, but Kiba laughs and says he knows. Kiba was responsible for taking care of Yali living, and his sister and sister were responsible for taking care of their mother's living.
Kibb and Becky first met outside the fast food restaurant, looking at each other through the glass. Mrs. Kava arrives at the supermarket where Kiba works, secretly tells Kiba that Thursday is the anniversary of the two of them, and invites him to his home tonight. Kiba agreed, but his eyes were always on Becky, who was shopping, and just as the boss arranged for him to help deliver the goods, they communicated all the way, and the two had further contact.
The family of five often quarreled over meals, occasionally mentioning the topic of the deceased father, and the fat mother stood up and stomped on the floor angrily, yelling at the disobedient children. Kiba noticed that the floor was shaking, and in order to prevent it from collapsing, he and his sister discussed trying to invite his mother upstairs and find someone to repair it, but her mother refused to go upstairs and ate and slept on the sofa. Because his father committed suicide in the basement, Yali did not dare to go to the basement, and Kiba and his friends used wooden stakes to complete the reinforcement of the floor.
The sister's violence prevents Yali from climbing the water tower again, and is reprimanded by Kiba, and the poor family situation makes the brothers and sisters discordant, and everyone is angry. Kiba drives to Becky, and she loves to travel around the country, as opposed to Kiba, who lives here, this time because the car is broken and stays temporarily, and they will leave when the camp car is repaired.
The two chatted happily, much to the disappointment of seeing mrs. Kahua. On one date, Kiba rushed home to bathe Yali, put it in the bathtub and told him to wash himself and get dressed and sleep, and then couldn't wait to go back to Becky to enjoy the sunset. As a result, he woke up the next day to wash up and found that Yali had soaked naked in the bathtub for a night, and almost froze to death, and since then, Yali has been afraid of water and no longer bathes.
Kiba envied Becky for living freely, and he was trapped here because of his mother. When he delivered Mrs. Kahua home again, he decisively refused the request to play with her, not wanting Mrs. Kava to hate because of love, and questioned Kibb if it was because of Becky. That night, her husband died mysteriously, and Mrs. Kava moved out of town with her two children.
Becky finally bought the car parts, and Kiba smiled when he helped repair the car, knowing that they would not leave for the time being. Becky asks Kiba what his ideal is, and Kiba says that he hopes his mother will put on beautiful clothes and walk out of the house, he hopes that his sister will grow up quickly, he hopes that Yali will no longer be like this, and he only wants to be a good person, and sure enough, as Mrs. Kava said, Kiba has lived for others all his life, and has not considered how he is.
In the gap between words, Yali climbed the water tower again, this time the police rescued him and took him directly, the mother learned that she personally went out and went to the police station to forcibly take away her child, but when she came out, she was photographed by passers-by, and she was sullen because of it.
Becky's relationship with Kiba heats up, and she offers to meet her mother, who makes it impossible for Kiba to travel, and he rejects it. On the day of the opening of the mobile burger restaurant, Becky told Kiba that she was leaving tomorrow, and tomorrow was also Yali's eighteenth birthday, the breakup was imminent, the relationship was rifted, and Kiba was distressed and powerless to change.
That night, Kiba chased Yali to give him a bath, Yali knocked over his sister who was working hard to prepare the cake, Kiba had no choice but to go to the supermarket to buy one to use tomorrow, only to be found by Yali to steal it in advance, angry Kiba dragged Yali into the bathroom and wanted to forcibly give him a bath, Yali couldn't help but resist, the long-suppressed Kiba beat his brother violently, and then rushed out of the room to drive away, he wanted to leave the town, but still turned around and went to Becky, and found that Yali was also here to seek comfort.
Seeing that Becky successfully encouraged Yali to jump into the water until his sister came to pick him up, Kiba confessed to Becky that he was bitter, and the two spent the night together on the field lawn. The next day, when he arrives at home for Yali's birthday party, Kiba apologizes to his sister and mother, and reconciles with Yali, and Becky comes to Arley's birthday and successfully convinces Kibb to take her to see his mother.
Knowing that she had become a burden to her children, the mother finally made up her mind to climb up to the second floor, lay down on the bed and breathlessly told Kibb that he was a heroic warrior, and then died peacefully before she could see Ariel. The police came and said they needed to use a crane to pull her away the next day, and the four children, not wanting to be the laughingstock of others after their mother died, moved everything outside the house and set the house on fire.
A year later, the sister found a job in the bakery, the sister transferred to a new school, and the Kibb brothers waited on the side of the road for the convoy to arrive, and they boarded Becky's car and traveled freely with her.
