Oseam has been compared to another bittersweet tearjerker, Studio Ghibli‘s Grave of the Fireflies, and for good reason. To find a cure for his sister’s blindness, Gilson decides to travel with a monk to the mountains, but the trip ends in tragedy. Gilson sacrifices his life for Gami’s eyesight.

Oseam, described as a fairytale for adults, is based on a novel by Korean author Jeong Chae Bong. There is also a live-action adaptation of Oseam, released in 1990.
