Synopsis
Her parents divorced when she was young, and Sang-hee spent most of her time living with her grandparents. She visits her mother, who has settled on Jeju Island with her younger brother. It has been at least ten years since she last saw her mother. Her stepfather is a documentary filmmaker and is currently making a film about Chobun, a type of temporary burial ritual. Her mother's restaurant has become a huge success, and she reportedly made a fortune there. She also meets the daughter her stepfather brought with him, who has just started painting. Sang-hee works at a snack import company and makes very short films on her own in her spare time. She spends three days and two nights with these people, exchanging previously unknown facts, advice that is hard to accept, and cheap compliments. On the morning of her return, the rest of the family is secretly watching one of the films Sang-hee made.
