Bad at English, with zero social skills, and to top it off, so desperately poor he wears ballet shoes full of holes.
The only way this ugly duckling with no friends endures his solitude is by writing letters to his sponsor who provides his scholarship.
However, the sponsor who had always responded with silence to all letters, made a proposal one day...
"Promise me you'll become an outstanding ballet dancer. If you do, I'll support you with everything you want."
"I always get scolded a lot at school. I'm curious why you want to support me when I haven't done anything well yet. I just keep causing trouble..."
"You'll understand that in time."
"..."
"If the student I support becomes an outstanding dancer in the future, everyone will say I was right."
― So let's surprise everyone together.
At his whispered words, the boy who had always been alone was deeply moved and burst into tears.
Swaying between getting his hopes up and being disappointed, his desire to be acknowledged by him grew into love…
Dear sponsor, I like you.
I think I like you. No, I'm sure. I may be s*upid, but I know this much.
When I become an adult, I'll definitely confess, so please don't disappear until then.
The boy, holding this unsaid confession in his heart, gradually transforms into a beautiful swan.

But was Karel really just a generous sponsor like the boy believed?
A man who tried to create an idol according to his own expectations,
And a boy who longed to be accepted just as he was.
Set against the backdrop of Manhattan, a sometimes lyrical, sometimes passionate waltz unfolds between the two.
