Deep in the ancient alley, an old kiln faces a crisis of heritage. An elderly potter takes in a stray girl amidst difficulties and discovers she has a rare talent for pottery. Under meticulous teaching, the girl goes from unfamiliar to skilled, guarding the ancient craft with persistence and effort. Facing the conflicts after her family returns and the test of passing down the kiln fire, everyone re-understands responsibility and familial affection. Ultimately, a craftsmanship steadfastly maintained for many years is continued in the hands of the new generation, and the warm alley also glows with new vitality due to inheritance and kindness.
