Synopsis “Protecting the environment is protecting peace!” Exhausted from life in Seoul, Woong's family moves to a quiet rural housing complex. The three-story house, built with great care by his architect parents, is famous in the neighborhood as the most impressive. However, their joy is short-lived; on the very first day after moving in, his mother discovers two dead birds in the yard. Although she felt uneasy, she dismissed it as a coincidence, but the same thing happened again the next day. Woong hears from Mrs. Wangari Maathai, whom he meets by chance and who guards the village's cave shelter, that the reason the birds died might be because of Woong's house. The fancy three-story glass wall had blocked the birds' flight path. Woong leaves the cave shelter heartbroken, feeling as if his family had become the main culprits of environmental destruction, but somehow he cannot erase those words from his mind. Meanwhile, Woong, who had no friends in the village, meets Dasom at the cave shelter and hears stories he had never considered before, such as the indiscriminate development happening in the village, the resulting environmental destruction, and the problem of shrinking animal habitats. Through this, he begins to think again about Aunt Wangari Maathai, who runs around tirelessly to protect the village's environment.
