    • Synopsis
    • Yun-young is a amateur poet who hasn’t had any success just yet. He also has an ambiguous relationship with his elder classmate’s ex-wife, Song-hyun. One day, they impulsively decide to visit the birthplace of Yun-young’s mother in a small port city called Gunsan. Here, they live in a B&B managed by a Korean who was born and raised in Japan. He and his daughter stir up their curiosity. Through conversation and shared experiences, Song-hyun develops subtle, tender feelings for the manager of the B&B. In the meantime, Yun-young and the manager’s daughter begin to explore each other’s past in silence…

      When Yun-young goes back home, he encounters his conservative father, his Korean-Chinese housemaid, and a beautiful pharmacist. He experiences a feeling of déjà vu about these people and interactions. For him, the city of Gunsan is the destination of a journey, as well as the starting point.
