Young-chan lost his vision and hearing from a serious fever when he was very young. He often describes himself as a “snail“ since he has to rely only on his tactile senses, just as slowly as a snail, to communicate with others. But an angel walks into his life. Soon-ho, as short as a little girl who is also disabled, changes his life dramatically. Being married to her, he explores the things he can neither see nor hear. The once lonely snail goes sleighing, swimming and writes essays, poems and even a script for a play. Although he does not get discouraged easily, obstacles still linger around him. He cannot go anywhere without Soon-ho. In a meeting with a social worker, they realize how vulnerable Young-chan is without Soon-ho. Young-chan begins to learn to walk with a blind stick, alone for the first time in their marriage.less
