Happy Birthday

About this Short Film

A young boy, lives alone with his father. Every year, his father bakes him a homemade birthday cake. While its messy, rustic appearance leaves much to be desired, He always loves the taste of his father's chocolate cake. However, as time passes, A grows tired of the unappetizing cakes, longing instead for a fancy cake decorated with superheroes. On his 6th birthday, A's frustration boils over, and he throws away the cake his father made for him. But instead of getting angry, his father speaks to him gently and forgives him. It is then revealed that his father is completely blind, yet has single-handedly raised his little boy with unwavering love and warmth all along.
