Synopsis: Ahlo is believed to be cursed from the date of his birth, because of a stillbirth of his twin brother. Followed by the accidental death of his mother, Ahlo has been pushed out by his fellow villagers.

In order to prove that he will not bring any bad luck, Ahlo enters the most lucrative but dangerous competition of the year, the Annual Rocket Festival. Finally, the villagers are moved by Ahlo’s courage and come to accept him gradually.
