The storyline follows a young boy who dreams of getting a bicycle and gets a job as a delivery boy, which he does on his skateboard, to earn money for it. However, when he earns enough money to purchase it, something else becomes a priority and he buys a gift for his father instead. That selfless act has its own surprise award.
What a lovely piece of animation, beautifully constructed with the just the right amount of details like the boy's eyebrow movements. The story unfolds at a reasonable pace and is easy to follow it, even without any dialogue. The background music is well selected and helps enhance the tone of the various scenes as they unfold. In the end, when the boy presents his gift to his father and the father pulls out one for him - we are all surprised and delighted. It's such a statement about the kindness of taking care of each other.
The film's message is about how doing good has its own rewards.
