Vid, perceived by his son Dule as the greatest hero in the world, is deeply troubled by the looming presence of an expansive ore mine, threatening their home and way of life. While Vid grapples with the reality of the situation, his concerns are mostly hidden from his young son, Dule, who remains blissfully unaware of the mine’s impact. Instead, Dule focuses intently on his father’s well-being, embarking on a heartfelt mission to restore his father’s happiness. This quest leads Dule to come up with creative architectural solutions for their plastic garden plant house and even to attempt to negotiate with God. As the mine’s expansion forces the family to face the inevitability of leaving their polluted home, Vid, initially failing in his fight against the corporate Goliath, finds solace and strength in his son’s imaginative outlook. In this process, Vid not only reconnects with his son but also learns a profound lesson about finding light in the darkest of times, guided by the innocence and wonder of a child.
