Yong-Suk wanders from place to place of his hometown following his memories, and as he face the view of his changed hometown and the traces of the spiritless hometown that had been made since the 'oil spillage' accident had occurred to the sea... Yong-Suk slowly begins to make cracks between people...

Many people only tried to find some hope in Tae-An.
But, I beseeched God to help me to reflect their 'present' without any lie and to make a film which could shed new light on and pray for them who is being forgotten. I thought that could be a true way to say 'hope' rather than just to talk about hope as if I understood them.
Do they really have hope? Can we easily affirm their brighter life which have already become their pain? I had to ask myself again and again.
Therefore, this film ; is my prayer for Tae-An.
And I have found out only one thing by the prayer.
' If pain doesn't end, healing must be there endlessly. '
