Synopsis

Sunhee, who runs a modest animal clinic, is fostering a puppy whose owner never returned. Out of the blue, her niece she had raised as her own shows up after ten years, only to announce that she is leaving for New Zealand the very next day.

Director's Statement

This film was inspired by my aunt, who raised me during my childhood. I hope this film invites you to revisit the memories of those who once cherished you deeply.
