What Is Buta About?

The premise of Buta without spoilers.

A lonely seven‑year‑old boy named Buta lives in a mountain village with his grandmother, who is weaving a commemorative carpet for his mother featuring the “buta” pattern that symbolizes love. An elderly liquid‑soap merchant, once in love with the grandmother, befriends Buta and offers wise counsel that helps him face his hardships. Inspired by the carpet, the boy creates his own “buta” from rocks atop the mountain.
