Synopsis

The pandemic kept people apart, but it did not cut off the bonds between them. During the pandemic in 2020, a little boy keeps a secret of his own. Tongtong and Nana are upstairs and downstairs neighbors who became friends through their shared love of snacks. Then the sudden outbreak cuts off contact between them. With his parents worried about self-isolation, Tongtong comes up with a way to care for his friend without breaking quarantine: a bucket linking the two floors! Tongtong secretly uses the bucket to pass snacks back and forth with Nana and keep in touch, but his parents find out and the contact is cut off. From then on Tongtong saves up his snacks, waiting to see his friend again after the pandemic. When school starts again, the snacks have expired, and Nana seems to have disappeared...
