An old man with a stone face, living in a land of rigid stones, has had enough of his situation and decides to get rid of himself by destroying himself with a piece of stone. His son, who serves in an army, gets the news of his father’s death. He is given a two-day break to go back home, so the stone-faced son gets back home to his fatherland.
