Elling tried to go to the supermarket to buy things by himself. Elling learned to communicate with people on the phone. Elling discovered that he had a talent as a poet. Elling walked out of the house and met new friends... He was 40 years old and discovered the beauty of life.

Elling and Kjell have gained a lot in their lives, and their friendship has never changed. On Christmas Eve, Kjell took out a wooden house carefully built with matchsticks. At this time, the melody of the children's chants on the TV echoed in Elling's heart. When he opened the gift, the sound of the same period that existed gradually became louder, and the long-focus and slow-motion shots taken in three positions were superimposed together, making it magnificent and magnificent like a dream.

Elling kept hiding his poems in kimchi boxes on the supermarket containers. In the last shot, after receiving compliments from friends, Elling, the little boy who is still his mother, calmly began to draw and walk away from the bottom right of the camera in the city where the lights were in the early days, the camera slowly rose, following Elling’s narrative. , The singing sounded, and we showed sweet smiles.
