In the most intense period of World War II, in a quiet American town, people called an 8-year-old child "Little Boy". He has never grown tall, but he is not dwarfism. The doctor gave him this nickname half helplessly and half comfortingly. He was bullied by his peers, and his father was his only friend. The war is approaching. Because Little Boy's brother has flat feet, his father must join the army. Little Boy has lived alone since then, and his only hope is that his father can go home soon. One day, he occasionally heard the priest say that as long as he has a faith the size of a seed, he can move the mountain and fulfill his wish. This sermon made Little Boy fall into a demon, and he felt that he could use his beliefs to get his father back to his side. Seeing all this, the priest wanted to help him, so he made a list of good deeds for him, including providing shelter for homeless people, visiting patients, etc., and told him that if he did it all, he would realize his wish. In the small town, Hashimoto, a Japanese expat who has immigrated for decades, lives. Because of the war, the Americans in the small town regarded this Hashimoto as an enemy. Seeing all this, the priest deliberately added a single note for Little Boy's good deeds, "Be friends with Hashimoto". This introverted child began to challenge himself with beliefs, temporarily surpassing the psychological barrier, and persuading himself to become friends with this "enemy" in order to achieve a more ultimate goal

Pepper Flynt Busbee: Why wouldn't God want to bring my dad back?
Fr. Crispin: I don't know.
Pepper Flynt Busbee: But if I get enough faith, nothing's impossible, right?
-
Pepper Flynt Busbee: How could I get bigger faith?
Fr. Crispin: [slams down a large Bible and extracts a small piece of paper] The list, the ancient list. For centuries, people believe that if you do this list, it'll make your faith powerful. This is what you have to do. Feed the hungry. Shelter the homeless. Visit those in prison. Clothe the naked.
Pepper Flynt Busbee: Naked? How is that supposed to...
Fr. Crispin: [pressing on] Visit the sick. Bury the dead. Oh, just one more thing. In order to make this list work for you, I'm gonna add one essential item.

Pepper Flynt Busbee: "Befriend Hashimoto?" Are you crazy?
Fr. Crispin: It's your choice, Pepper.
Pepper Flynt Busbee: What does that Jap have to do with anything?
Fr. Crispin: Everything. Your faith won't work if you have even the slightest bit of hatred in you.
Pepper Flynt Busbee: Fine. I'll do it, if that's what it takes to bring my dad back.
