Pagoda Boy tells the story of an orphan who survives by stealing shoes at the temple, only to discover that what he truly longs for is not wealth, but the love of his grandmother, who passed away. Between monks’ chants, ghostly voices, and memories of hunger and abandonment, his mischief turns into a journey of grief, memory, and hope — a quiet conversation between the living and the departed.
