Gami, wake up The sun is up
Gami, wake up
You sleepy head
I've been awake, Gilson
You're lying Why were you so still then?
I was listening to how happy you sound
Iooking at the ocean
Gami, do you know what the ocean looks like?
It looks like the sky but moves like a barley field
That's the breeze
- Breeze? - Yes
Feel it...It's soft
It is! It's like the touch of your hand
Gami, there are many birds in the ocean
They are seagulls Mommy told me about them
- They are so lucky - Why?
They have wings
They can ride the wind to find Mommy
No, Gami Not that way
This way
I bet mommy is where the breeze begins

Here Gami, Eat this
You eat some I ate enough
There's more
The fat lady gave us a lot
They are still warm
Oh! What is it?
It's okay. It's not a bug It's a leaf
It's pretty like your hand
- Is it red? - Yep
Oh, I like red
Wow, what pretty leaves ˇ«
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, I just slipped
Should be more careful
Hush!!!
- Look Doesn't it look just like us? - Huh?
Well, what do you think?
What a goofball
Why don't you share our dinner with it too?
Good idea
Gami, it's a stream
We have to cross the stone bridge but they're wide apart
- Is the water deep? - Uh huh
If it's shallow I can cross it barefoot
It's not too deep But it looks cold
- It's cold, isn't it? - Just a little
If I was bigger, I could carry you on my back
Yeah I wish were all grown up, too, Gilson
It's too deep Gilson I'm scared
Just a little further
Two, three... just five more stones Okay?
Puppy!! Wait here a second, Gami
Gilson, I'm scared
Hold on a second I'll get you across
It's a white pup You like puppies!
Come down, please ˇ«
I'll catch you if you fall
Gotcha!
Oops Sorry
Shoo! You're mean!
- What a naughty cat - Gilson!
Gami
How could you?
How could you I was so scared
I'm sorry, Gami I won't do it again
You should've waited a bit
The water was so deep
And I can't even see How could you just go off alone?
Don't ever leave me alone again, okay?
Gilson? Where did you go now?
What's wrong? Where are you?
What are you doing? Answer me, Gilson
What's this noise? It sounds like a dog barking
It's a child's voice
Anyone there? Help, help
Help...
What's wrong?
Who's there?
Holy cow!
Mister, please help me I'm about to fall off
This is one strange tree It grows everything
Wow, how did that rice cake sack get there?
Did you say rice cake? Darn!
It's warm here Thank you
It's late You should go to bed
Thank you so much, Sir
Buddha has plans for everything, Sleep well
Hey there, you boy You should sleep, too
Let's take you somewhere warm
What's wrong, Boy? Come on
Sir, I think he wants to stay near Gilson
Ah hah Is that it?
It'll be cold here, though
It's getting late Go to sleep
Oh no! They all look alike
Sir! Sir!
Sir!
Ha! They all look like you, I had such hard time...
Gilson You!
Do you know where this is?
I had such good sleep last night, thanks to you
- Hey... - I love it here
The birds sing so well I found an ant farm under the porch
Oh, don't worry, I didn't kill them I'll just play with them a little
Ah hah! Almost forgot You're hungry, aren't you?
Oh, you're lucky They're still warm
Here, eat it, Gami got these rice balls from the kitchen
Gilson!
No, no. Don't worry about me I already ate
You little brat
No rice balls for you You're too fat
You disobedient boy
Breeze, that's not polite
It's your fault You clean it
- Gilson - Yes?
- What?/- I think you should clean your feet first
Oh, sorry. I'll clean it up Don't worry
It's cold!
- Don't forget your promise no - Uh huh
- Say "Yes," not "Uh huh" - Yes, Mister
It's "Sir," not "Mister"
- Wow, your name is "Sir"? - What?
That's an interesting name Mister Sir
No, that's not it
Never mind Go play, I think the dog will lose its voice soon
- Breeze!! - Gilson!
Ah, shhhhh
Breeze, let's go!
I'll do it now, Why don't you go take a break?
No, I'm okay
No, it's so cold, it's already winter We've even had first snow
Look at your hands they're frozen
Go ahead, go on in Poor thing, such a good girl
Ooooh So cold
Hold still I'll make you warm
Wait a second Lift your feet
There you go, You'll be warm even when it snows
No, come back
You still have to put on pants!
Hey birds! Where are you going?
You're going home, aren't you?
You can't fool me This is my home
Gilson, come down here right this minute!
Breeze, hush Yahooˇ«ˇ«
At least he's got a good voice
Gami, the sky is so pretty today
You can hear the birds sing can't you?
Gilson why don't you sing a song?
- A song? - Yes, a song
Loudly so that the mountain over there can answer you
Gami sings much better than me!
When mother goes to the island To pick oysters
The child cries all alone Until it falls sweetly asleep
The child left all alone Keeps the home safe
Until it hears the waves sing A lullaby
Then it falls sweetly asleep
Deep, deeply asleep
I still can't sleep
Sing another one, Gami
Stay still if you want to sleep
Come sleep with me, Gami
Aer I finish this
Here, Gami Oh blood
- It's okay, It doesn't hurt - Hold on, I'll do it for you
- It's like a flower petal- Flower petal?
Yeah Like the one I put in your hair last summer
The one you said looks like a torch on a winter night?
Ah hah! That's why you smell like flowers
Yep, that's me I'm a flower
- See, you're sleepy, aren't you - I'm gonna sleep on your lap today
Be a good boy starting tomorrow, Gilson Okay?
But it's so boring here
Everybody is so busy imitating the Buddha
The only things that move here is me and Breeze
- When are we going to look for Mommy?/- Mommy...
I wanna go find Mommy
Okay, we'll go look for her soon When the cold winter is over
It's still too cold, When the warm spring comes, we'll go then
Gilson, are you asleep?
Will I never see your face again?
Not even once?
Gami, three women are praying to Buddha
They are praying for luck and fame, Mister said
An old lady is going circles around the stone tower
I wonder what she wants Probably to go to heaven
Geez, Buddha must be so annoyed!
I bet Buddha is sitting so still
because he is so tired of their requests
If it was me, I would try to make him laugh, right, Gami?
You're all grown up, Gilson You understand Buddha
Mister!
- Did you say "Hello" to the monks?/- Yes
- Wait for me - Hurry up, stupid!
What's wrong? Aren't you going to Mister?
You wanna to go pick acorns?
- Not fair Even bad kids have a mom/- What?
- Thank you ma'am - Drink water with it
My sister is waiting for me by the lake
Give us one rice cake and we'll let you go
It's not rice cake Really
- Oh yeah? - Oh yeah?
- Don't imitate me! - Don't imitate me!
I mean you, stupid!
Okay, okay
- Freeze! - I told you it's not rice cake
It's boiled potatoes
It pisses you off doesn't it?
-You should learn to share - You are right
- I have to share it with my sister - Ah, you have a sister, too, do ya?
- Beggar sister, I bet - She's not a beggar
- Give it back! That's mine! - Wo...scary
Give it back!
Gami
Gami, I wish the lady who gave us the potatoes was our mommy
- The fat lady? - No She's not fat, she's very pretty
Got it She's a very pretty lady
- Are you mad? - I'm gonna do it like mom
Gilson
Let's go gather acorns in the backyard, Gilson
No, I'm gonna go sleep
Gilson, are you really going to sleep?
You're mad at me, aren't you?
Fine I'll just go alone then
I wonder what is wrong with my sweet brother ˇ«
- I can't see - I can't see
- It's all dark - It's so dark
Oh my god Who is it?
- See? See? - Yep Yep
- I told you, right?/- Yeah, you're rightShe's blind as a bat
- Wanna do it again? - Yeah, This is so much fun
Can I do it this time?
Who is it? Stop it!
But her eyes are wide open
She's an open-eyed bat, Dummy I'll do it this time Watch this!
- She's calling for her beggar brother - She's gonna tell on us
- Gilson, where are you? - Call him, call him
Gilson!
Don't pick on her! I'll kick your butt
- Everybody stop it! - Go Bro! Go Bro!
You asked for it
Stop it
Stop it...
How annoying!
Gilson, come here
- He asked for it and got it, huh? - Yeah, you really got him good
- Are you okay? You're not hurt? - I'm fine
I'm sorry, This is all my fault
- You're bleeding!/-It's not blood It's just my nose running
Look, he's lying to her because she's blind
He's lying That's blood
- You jerk! - Big Bro Blood
Another one Lots of blood
- I'm bleeding - Mommy, big brother is bleeding!
- Mommy ˇ« - He's dying!
- Hurry, mommy - Jong Chul!
- Who did this? - He did it!
Who hurt my boy?
- Oh my goodness/- That beggar over there punched him
We're sorry But they started...
What? Beat up my kid half to death and you try to make excuses?
If you're living off of the nice monks
You should at least mind your manners
How can such little kids be so ill bred?
My baby Are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?
My baby Gilson Are you hurting? Oh no You're badly wounded
Who hurt my precious boy? I'll have a talk with the bad kids
Hey, you!
No, the big one Come here
Gilson! Gilson!
My goodness! Look at the bad manner!
No respect for elders whatsoever
You still want to make excuses for him?
- Mommy, she's blind - What?
She can't see a thing
Mommy ˇ«ˇ«
I'm bleeding in the nose, too, Mommy
I'm hurting a lot, too, Mommy
Hey, Gilson. Bet you can't skip rocks like I can
Boring
Hmmmˇ« Why is our troublemaker so quiet today?
Let me guess, You're missing your Mommy, right?
I can't even remember her face
She doesn't come to my dreams
She only visits Gami's dreams She is so mean
But she is in your heart
You may not see her but she's always inside you
That's a lie
Mommy is like the breeze
She shakes up my hopes but never appears
Breeze?
Can Buddha see breeze?
- In Buddha's eyes...?/- Yes of course he can see the breeze
- How come?/- Because the eyes of his soul are open
There are eyes on a soul?
Of course, Each one of us has many eyes
In Gami's case her body's eyes are closed
In your case and mine the soul's eyes are closed
But if we study very hard We can open our eyes one by one
Until we can see the breeze until we can see beyond the sky
I want to open my soul's eyes, too
I wanna see the breeze and over the sky
Then you must study diligently
Gilson, do you want to go study with me?
Can I really?
But you have to be apart from Gami for a while
- Why? - Because the way there is rough
- and it'll be too much for Gami - Where is it?
Up there On top of that mountain It's called Gwanumlan
- When will we come back down? - In spring
Gilson, you're back
Shucks, How come you always know when I come near?
I know
because you smell so good
You mean I smell delicious, like food?
Yep! So much so that I want to take a bite out of you
You're bored, aren't you, dear?
No, I'm not bored. Mister is going away tomorrow, to study
Do you want to study, too?
- He says if I study, I can see the breeze/- Maybe...
Then I can probably see Mommy, too
- Shall I tell you about Mom again?/- Oh yes!
We had a little wooden bed in our front yard
Yeah! We sat there and ate potatoes and corns, right?
Uh huh, We at potatoes and corns
We watched stars at night and listened to Mommy tell fairy tales
The one about the sun and the moon?
Uh huh! The one about the sun and the moon
And the one about the tiger and dried persimmons?
Yes! And when we got sleepy
We fell asleep with our head on Mommy's lap
Gami, tell me about your ribbon
It was on my birthday Mommy and I took a bath
And then she braided my hair into a pretty rope
And then?
- Gilson - Hmmm?
This ribbon is still pretty, isn't it?
I remember there were sparkly gold designs on them
Yes, There're still pretty gold spots on them
I think the evening prayer is done
I better go to the kitchen You stay here and play quietly
Gami!
- Mommy! - Gami!
Mommy!, Mommy...
Mommy!
I'm so sorry, Gilson I lied to you
We can never see Mommy again
We can only see her... in our mind
But what I really want to see What I am really dying to see
Is you, who is next to me
White snow
White...
The roads will be slippery today
Please, watch over Gilson for me
You know what a nice kid he is
He won't be much trouble Please make sure that he is okay
Please!
Oops! I got too close
I'm sorry
Are you really going to go with me?
Not again! I told you at least one, two, seven
...a million times!
- You rascal - What I mean is...
Okay, okay! We got it Troublemakers love to yak
Here. Take the hat It's a gift
Thank you It's warm Gami!
- Hmmm? - Where's your ribbon?
- Ha! I have a surprise for you, too - What is it?
- Here it is - It's your ribbon!
- Yep You know it's my most treasured possession/- Of course I do
- I'll be back soon, Gami - Here's a present for you, too
From now on Breeze will accompany you when you go for a walk
Breeze you better be a good boy!
Don't make trouble
You should talk, Gilson!
- Talk? What do you mean? - Talk about what?
- What do you mean? - Never mind
What is it? What is it?
- Stop it, I'm gonna fall over - Tell me!
- Gami - Yes, Sir Please have a good trip
I will, Don't worry about Gilson
- Yes, sir - We'll see you soon, then
- Uhm, Sir? - Yes? What is it Gami?
Here... I want you to have this It's not well made, but...
Gilson broke your praying beads a while ago I'm really sorry
How did you manage this? Thank you so much, Gami
-Put me down We have to go now - Okay Have a good journey
Gami
I'll be back soon Bye ˇ«ˇ«
It's cold, Let's go inside Gami It's freezing
Not yet, Gilson is still waving at me
Don't cry
- Are we there yet? - A few more hills still
- But we walked so much already - We did, didn't we?
- Are you tired? - I'll just roll there
Gilson, come on
What do you want to study at the temple?
Should we try writing?
- No That's boring - Then?
I want to learn to see things with my eyes closed
So I can teach it to Gami
Then she'll be able to see the blue sky, birds and trees
She can even see white snow
It'll be cool if she can see the mountain over there, too
Hmm Thoughtful boy
- Hey, that's cold! - Put me down now
Mister, what's the name of that bird?
- That's a thrush - oh, really
Gami, the name of that bird is a thrush, It's funny, isn't it?
But its song sounds so sad, huh?
Gami, the flowers are blooming though it's still winter
They're soft, like hair on the chest of a newborn chick
The Buddha over there must have kept it warm with his breath
Wow! No! Don't go away I'm going to be living with you guys
- What a kid - Don't run away
You must be tired, it was a long journey, Sleep tight
I must go pray now
- You can sleep alone, can't you? - Uh huh
I've heated the floors They'll keep you warm 'til tomorrow
- It's toasty, right? - Yes
Don't turn the light off
- I'm scared - Okay Sleep well, my boy
Wow, you're up And so early, too though you must be tired
Go wash up, then we'll eat
Gilson, wash your face
Whoa ˇ«ˇ« cold!
Mister, I'm done
Already? I didn't hear water splash
Look...No eye booger See?
What's this drool stain? Never mind, Kid Let's go in
You'll give me lots of rice won't you?
Okay! Go wait inside
Let's go catch a rabbit!
I'll catch one for sure tomorrow
You're mine
No ˇ«ˇ«ˇ« Don't go away
Whoa... Anybody there? I'm stuck
Let's play Please?
Fine I'm coming, too I can go to the top
Ha! You can't go any further can you? I can!
He thinks he's a super squirrel I just want to play
Mister! Sir, play with me
Is there something on the wall?
If you're just gonna stare at the wall all day, Why did you come here?
There are walls at home, too
Gami, the white cloud went away
I think it was bored, too
The tree leaf boat I left behind today
I still think of it Lying by mother's side
I bet it's floating in a pond
Where the blue moon and white clouds drift lazily away
I should make the trip before the snowfall gets heavier
Someone didn't finish the carving It looks kind of like Gilson
There you are You were in the room
Gilson ˇ«ˇ« Do you want to...
Hey, kiddo What are you doing?
- Studying - Studying?
Come play with me
It's a fun game
Well...I guess I'll just go study, too
Mister, don't...
Look, Gilson Watch this This is called dance snowboarding
Wow, that's really cool
Let's go again tomorrow
Okay, But you have to stay alone tomorrow
Why?
I have to go to the market before it snows more
-why? -There are things to get
No I'm scared to be alone
That's silly when there's Buddha to watch over you
You'll be right back?
Of course I won't be long Gilson, if you get scared
Call "Dear Goddess of Mercy"
Then she will come visit me?
Of course, If you call her with all your heart
You mean if I call her with all my heart, Mommy will come?
Not your mom the Goddess of Mercy
Whatever
Sir...Have a good trip
Hurry back, sir
That's the room where a monk with leprosy died
Gami doesn't the room look scary? The door's covered with dust
Will you stand there and wait for me?
I'll be right out, okay?
Don't go into that room
It's a monster!
What's this? There's nothing
Did I scare you? Hello My name is Gilson
I knew it you are the Goddess of Mercy
What's the name of that flower? it's pretty like my sister
Shucks, Am I talking too much? Well, goodbye
I can come back tomorrow, right?
Did you say "Yes"? Okay, I'll come again tomorrow
I'll fix the door, don't worry
Oops Maybe not Goodbye, Goddess of Mercy
What a cute baby
I think you'd better hurry, Sir
It looks like a snowstorm is on the way
No!! Gilson is alone I'll be right there, Gilson
Just wait a little...a little...
Sir...Have a good trip Hurry back, Sir
No, I can't...Gilson I can't...
He's still not here
The room is clean now, isn't it? I put some heat in, too
There was a lot of snow today Maybe that's why Mister is so late
I slept alone last night Was I scared?
Hehe A little But I didn't cry
Did you stay here by yourself? I'll come visit you often
Hold on one second
It's warm, isn't it? You know I came here to study with Mister
What kind of study?
The one where I can see things with my eyes closed
I'm going to teach it to my sister
Because we have to go look for our Mommy soon
And I don't know what she looks like
But Gami knows because she dreams about her
But Gami cannot see when she is awake
She may not recognize mommy even if we find her
That's why I have to study...
Mommy?
Can I call you Mommy?
I think I'll go see if Mister is coming I'll come again tomorrow
Mommy...
Gilson
Sir, Sir...
I'm coming, Gilson...
Second day and he's still like this...
Mommy, did you sleep well?
It snowed tons today, too The whole world is white
And Mister...
I think Mister is mad at me
So many dark nights passed by already
I made so much trouble
I'm sorry, Sir...
Gami, I called mommy with all my heart
but she is still not here
I think she must be mad at me, too
Gami, tell me how I can make her hear...
Gami...
Gami, when are we going to look for Mommy?
When the warm spring comes
It's finally spring, Gilson
Sir, why does the bird cry so sadly?
That's the thrush...
Gami, the name of that bird is a thrush, It's funny, isn't it?
But its song sounds so sad, huh?
Mister
we must be almost there I can feel him
Yes, we're almost there Come, get on my back
Dear Goddess of Mercy Dear Goddess of Mercy
- What was that? - That's Gilson's voice, Sir!
Gilson! Gilson!
You stay here, Gami Gilson ˇ«
Gilson
Where...?
Gilson
Gami! Mommy is here
She gave me food when I was hungry
And she played games with me
Gami, I met Mommy
Gami
Mommy ˇ«ˇ«
Mommy
This child is the image of heaven
He called to me with the pureness of heart
and looked for me with a spirit undivided
This child's innocence will light the world bright
Gilson, are you sleeping?
- Yes, Gami Am I dreaming? - Yes
- Together with you? - Yes, together with me
Then let's dream about mommy
Okay, Go to sleep now, Gilson
Oseam was called Gwanumlan as one of the hermitage in Baekdamsa
To help the soul of a 5yr old child to enter into Nirvana
The hermitage was reconstructed and changed its name to Oseam
