Lau is seven years old and lives in an orphanage where he has lived since his father hung himself on Christmas Eve. Now it's Christmas again and Lau is still trying to understand his father and not least himself. Loose method of understanding is dangerous and unthinkable but feels right. At night when everyone sleeps, Lau goes up to the children's home's loft, where he stores all the memories of his father. One day, the girl Esta arrives at the orphanage, and maybe she feels the same way.
