Dika, a vocational high school graduate, has been the sole breadwinner for his family since his mother’s passing, as his father—despite being physically capable—has never provided any financial support. Now of marriageable age, Dika faces a dilemma: marry and force his younger sibling to take over the burden of supporting the family, or break the "sandwich generation" cycle at the cost of his own future and love life. Ultimately, Dika chooses to continue supporting his family, letting go of his girlfriend so she can marry another man.
