Synopsis |
|
Che-hyun (29), who works in an automated factory, has feelings for Won-sik (28), who works in the transportation section of the same factory. Won-sik also has feelings for Che-hyun and wants to get close to her. Che-hyun has been living such a lonely life, with almost no one to call a friend. She finds relationships with other people exhausting, and thinks that life without people is more comfortable than life with people. Won-sik tries to get to know her but she resists his advances. Sung-Min (68), Che-hyun’s father, calls her and explains that he wants to relocate her mother’s remains, currently buried up in the mountains, to a cemetery for cremations in the city. Che-hyun is opposed to her father’s wishes, but he tells her that her aunt, Mi-hee (55), the figure whom Che-hyun most respects in life, agrees with the plan. Che-hyun is confused about her feelings regarding moving her mother’s grave. She talks about it with her oldest hometown friend, Min-jung (30), who also agrees with her father. Che-hyun is disappointed in Min-jung because she expected Min-jung to support her no matter what. Che-hyun argues with Min-jung and hurts her, their relationship becoming cold and awkward. Shortly after arguing with Min-jung, Won-sik asks Che-hyun out and she impulsively agrees. Won-sik and Che-hyun have a wonderful date, and Che-hyun begins to think that Won-sik might be the one to rescue her from her isolation. Che-hyun changes her mind and agrees to allow her mother’s remains to be moved. But she receives a call from a hospital explaining that her father has been seriously injured in a fight in a job center for manual laborers. While preparing to move her mother’s remains in place of her father, Che-hyun accidentally learns that her mother had an affair with the pastor in her hometown, and does not know how to deal with this information. She calls Min-jung repeatedly, who does not answer her phone. A week before her mother’s remains are due to be relocated, Won-sik suddenly disappears.
