Synopsis:
The story is about the personal growth journey of Tibetan boy Sangye during his course hunting for Cordyceps. Sangye has always wanted to own the encyclopedia. To obtain it, he needs to hunt Cordyceps during the school holidays. But when the school cancels them, he decides to skip school to look for Cordyceps.
When the Inspector takes away Sangye’s encyclopedia box along with the Cordyceps in it, he promises Sangye a full set of encyclopedia waiting for him at school if he gets more Cordyceps from Sangye. But when Sangye returns to school, the headmaster tells him that he can only borrow the encyclopedia because it belongs to the school’s library.
Upset Sangye decides to go to the city to confront the Inspector. During his journey he sees something that he has not seen before on the grassland, and his three Cordyceps lead him to form relationships with people he meets.
In the end, he buries his last Cordyceps, symbolizing a seed of life.
