The video opens with a quiet morning in the small rescue shelter. Soft sunlight slips through the wooden window, revealing little Cici sitting alone on her blanket. She’s holding her tiny hands together, rocking slowly back and forth, whispering one word that breaks every heart: “Mama… Mama…”
Cici doesn’t understand yet. She doesn’t know why her real mother hasn’t come back. She doesn’t understand why everyone tries so hard to comfort her, yet none of them can replace the warm arms she remembers. All she knows is that she used to wake up to the gentle heartbeat of her mom, and now… there is only silence.
As the caretaker approaches, Cici lifts her head, hope shining in her eyes. She reaches out her arms—and once again says that heartbreaking word. The caretaker gently picks her up, stroking her tiny head. Cici buries her face into the shoulder, searching for the familiar scent she misses so deeply.
Throughout the day, she keeps wandering around the shelter, looking behind doors, peeking under tables, scanning corners as if Mama might suddenly appear. Every time she doesn’t see her, she lets out a soft whimper, her lips trembling. She calls again… and again… “Mama… Mama…”
Even the other animals seem to feel her sadness. Baby Yumi moves closer, touching Cici’s hand gently. Mimi sits beside her, sharing her snack, hoping it will cheer her up. But the fragile little monkey still stares at the empty doorway, waiting for someone who will never return.
The caretaker sits with her in the afternoon, holding her tight. Slowly, Cici begins to calm, resting her head against a chest that tries to replace the love she lost. She doesn’t understand yet—but she feels warmth… safety… comfort.
And maybe, with time, that will be enough to heal her tiny heart.
For now, she keeps calling “Mama”…
Not knowing she’s gone forever. 😢
