Synopsis
A gold medal around his neck, a photo in his back pocket, and an uncomfortable back.

In-mok in his mid-40s frowns even at the sight of an old man passing by. When his shabby house receives an eviction notice, In-mok boldly climbs a mountain, saying he will escape the secular world, but even becoming a monk requires qualifications. With nowhere to go and a place to save face, he starts a life under a quiet, shady bridge. The old man who had been living under the bridge first smiles at In-mok, but he feels really bad. Even when it’s cold, the old man has a neatsleeping bag. In-mok starts making beddings by picking up boxes as a show. However, picking up boxes is not easy, and each area has its own owner.
