He was often absent from home and the son seldom saw him. But now the son is taking over his father's position. The father goes with him on his first day of work. Along the way, they start to see into each other's hearts. 3 For the first time, the son carries his father across a cold river. It brings back the father's memory of carrying the son on his back.
