The fate of marionettes is sealed as they are stuck inside a cycle of suffering; the mother questions their existence to the god and supplicates for liberation from an unfortunate tradition.
The story takes place in a world where women are embodied as marionettes. It's a world surrounded by temples and nature that looks visually divine but hosts a tragic tradition of child marriage. It captures the emotions and sadness of the day when the mother learns her 11-year-old daughter is about to get forced into marriage the following day. The helpless mother has no way to protect her daughter, so she questions her existence to the god. Despite being surrounded by temples, her prayers are disregarded, so she lights up incense sticks hoping that the aroma reaches up to the sky and her supplication is heard by the god.
