In the year 2000, Don, a 10-year-old orphan, is often underestimated because of his large body. Don has a storybook inherited from his parents, which is full of illustrations and magical stories. The book is not only a something a memory from his parents, but also a source of inspiration and escape for Don from a world that feels unfriendly because he is often underestimated by his peers.[7]
Don tries to prove his ability by joining a talent show, where he plans to perform a stage play inspired by the storybook, but when one of his bullying classmates steals the book, he is left in despair. With the support of his Grandma and his friends, Nurman and Mae, Don sets out to retrieve the book. In the midst of this search, he meets Meri (a little ghost girl) who asks for his help in finding her parents after someone has captured them.
