The story takes place in a "primitive" modern family. The father, who has a one track-mind and is indecisive, fears changes and proves his presence by lifting weights. The mother, who is a collector of bones, always talks about bones, but doesn't concern herself with anything else. The son, born imaginative, cannot accept his parents' lifestyles, neither can he receive recognition from them. He feels depressed, and admires his friends' life. The sharp contradictions and estrangement between the parents and son are broken by the nephew with his arrival. The nephew comes with something, which throws the whole family into a crisis. In the crisis, the family members give full play to their own abilities, but can they pull through together? Where is the key that can help unlock a solution to the dilemma?
