Ten year old Eru starts his day going to the cemetery with his Grandmother on the anniversary of his Mother's passing. Later, he returns near the cemetery to play soccer with this friend although the watchful caretaker has warned them not to play soccer there out of respect. When the ball accidentally falls into the sacred grounds, Eru must enter. In his attempt to retrieve the ball, he falls into the mud surrounding a tree. Days later, Eru has been in a trance-like state from supernatural events that occur around him. Upon learning of her grandson's doing at the cemetery, the knowing Grandmother goes to task to remove the energies affecting young Eru. After the cleanse and to his surprise, Eru learns that the caretaker has been a guardian of his all along and through a visit from his Mother's spirit as well as the caretaker's message from her, he finds some solace in a new found feeling of the place he occupies in the world.
