Son Won-kyung, one of South Korea's top toy collectors and owner of the Toykino toy museum, started his business by collecting toys as a childhood hobby. However, when a media group destroyed Toykino and what Son had built for years, his mother, Ms. Bang Hang-ja, who could not bear to see her son suffer, began a one-person protest in the cold weather. Starting with the vast and exceptional records left by his mother to her grandson, Won-kyung organizes the life of Ms. Bang, the "Toyhouse grandma," who lived as a mother, an artist, and a woman. The documentary shines with the warmth of love that permeates the many records left by her.
