SYNOPSIS

Jungeun¡¯s mother is in a dementia nursing facility. One day, Jungeun gets a call from a woman in North Korea. The caller begs her to search for her son who defected to South Korea. The basic setting of a call from North Korea seems unlikely. However, based on an unknown, probable reality, the film depicts the life and labor of a middle-aged single woman who works hard in every situation. It explores the reality of division, the loss of hometown, and the pain of separation as crucial elements for reconciliation. [JUNG Jiyoun]
