SYNOPSIS
The married couple of Seong-cheol and Mi-sook run an interior shop in the center of a satellite city just outside Seoul. Six months ago, their son drowned to death while saving a boy named Gi- hyeon during a picnic by the stream. One day, Seong-cheol witnesses Gi- hyeon harassed by a group of teenagers. It becomes clear to the Seong-cheol's mind that he must help Gi- hyeon, for whom his son risked his life, and that his righteous death should never go to waste. Seong-cheol takes Gi- hyeon under his care and teaches him basic interior work training. Meanwhile, Mi-sook attempts to get pregnant via artificial insemination to comply with her son's old wish of wanting a sibling yet fails. Mi-sook finds sole comfort from Gi- hyeon who approaches her in a more mindful manner. The three start to live like family.
DIRECTING INTENTION
Bereavement was always humble and above the awareness and comfort of social institutions and traditions compared to the intensity of the tragic suffering. Poor empathy sometimes hurts wounds. The story wanted to spread the power of sympathy and comfort people with a slight appreciation.
