Spoilers ahead
Na-mi is a wealthy but deeply unsettled housewife who feels more alone than ever despite the comfort of her seemingly flawless life. Her husband and daughter seem distant, and she starts each morning eating breakfast by herself, confronted with a widening emotional gap between her inner world and the life she appears to lead. A visit to her mother in the hospital becomes a turning point: a patient’s room bears the name Ha Chun-hwa, and that label jolts Na-mi back to memories of her past that she long thought were buried.
