Oruorane is an elderly man encountered during the holiday season. After losing his position in an orchestra earlier in life, he trained his three cats to sing, developing an unconventional approach to music. His unique ability surfaces when a young unemployed cellist discovers one of his intoxicated cats in an alleyway. This meeting leads the young man to Oruorane, who directs his cats in performances. Their music transports listeners to imaginative landscapes, like a tranquil lakeside during a serene hymn or evokes a carefree mood during an upbeat acapella rock performance.

Oruorane uses this music as a temporary escape from life's hardships, a theme reflected in the wintry urban setting and surrounding struggles. He teaches the young cellist how to harness the cats' abilities, offering respite from the young man's difficulties and passing on his distinctive artistic tradition. Oruorane's character centers on his bond with his cats and this alternative musical expression.
