Summaries

Munseong goes to his hometown of Gunsan for the first time in 30 years upon hearing his father is dying. The trip brings Munseong and his son Dijon together, but the history is repeated in their father-son relationship.

Munseong is a father who has supported his family by living alone and abroad for 15 years, as he struggles to recover from his failure in business. His son Dojin suddenly drops out of school and comes back home to introduce his fiancée. Disappointed that his son has betrayed his expectations, and having learned that his father, who was falsely charged for espionage, has finally been proved innocent, Munseong returns to his hometown of Gunsan to find his estranged father lying in a vegetative state and taken care of by a stranger named Eunhye. He feels uncomfortable with Gunsan and everyone around him except for his family. He has to accept that everything has changed. Lim Tae-gue, who won the Grand Prize at the Jeonju International Film Festival with The Seeds of Violence (2017), engraved the scars of history among landscapes worn out by time.—Kim Youngjin
