This short film shows the deep affection of a daughter and parent toward each other. A primary schoolgirl Sara buys cigarettes on her way home. Even though her mother scolds and tells Sara to stop buying, she doesn't obey her mother. These cigarettes are all for her father who is sick in bed. She knows a cigarette is bad for her father, but she can't refuse a request for a cigarette because she loves her father. The young girl tries to get some but finally she couldn't. In the last scene, I could see the mother's love for her husband and daughter. In this film, characters' expressions were memorable. I think they talk about their feelings with little word. An atmosphere of the whole film is soft and quiet, and it improves the appearance of their expressions and acting.
