Nuair a théann Caoimhín chun cónaithe sa mhainistir, bíonn cumha air i ndiaidh a mhuintire agus an domhain taobh amuigh. Lá amháin, síneann sé a dhá lámh amach an fhuinneog agus déanann lon dubh agus céirseach nead iontu. In ainneoin pianta agus tuirse, fanann Caoimhín ansin go foighneach go mbíonn na lonta dubha óga réidh leis an nead a fhágáil agus tabhairt faoin domhan mór.

When Kevin goes to live in the monastery, he feels a longing for his family and the world outside. One day, he stretches his two hands out the window and black and striped sparks form a nest in them. Despite the pain and fatigue, Kevin patiently stays there until the young black sparks are ready to leave the nest and face the big world.
