A family of three: a man, his daughter and son. They reside on top of a secluded mountain. Mr. Boi, the dying father, calmly prepares for his journey to the netherworld. But before his death, he must accomplish one important mission: find a suitable woman for his mentally disabled son, 16-year-old Maize, a woman to give birth to a male heir and ensure the family line. His beautiful daughter wants to marry but may not precede her brother. Yet, naive and simple-minded Maize can't grasp the concept of "birds and bees". Each time Mr. Boi sends the boy to the love market in the hope that he will bring home a fertile female, he ends up having to endure extreme anguish and disappointment. The end is drawing near. Mr. Boi is convinced that demonic spirits will seize his departing soul should the family name be forever lost.
