Synopsis
Journey of a year beside the veteran who makes his 102nd film.

At 6:00 in the morning on the 1st day of January in 2013 80-year-old film-maker Im Kwon-taek started shooting his 102nd film, after his unintentional 5 years' break. I visited the shooting scene with my camera and had stayed there until the end of that year. I've always wanted to record Im's shooting scene, as I believed that there we could find his secret manual which reflects the master's large experience. I've been through heavy snow to witness funeral scene. I've also been to the west coast to follow funeral cortege in the film. It was an experience to put the life in the frame alongside with the death. When the next spring came, the shooting finally ended. is a sequel of , director's previous years.

Synopsis
One hot summer day, Jeong Seong-il visits producer Im Kwon-taek and says he wants to make a documentary about filmmaking.

He gets the green light, but the director cancels the movie for many reasons.

Im Kwon-taek just patiently waits for the next movie. He filmed his first movie in 1962 and then continued on to make 101 movies. This is not an easy task, even for the master of film in Korea. Im Kwon-taek maintains the gravity of the world like a lone tree.

The wind continuously shakes the tress.
The years go by and the seasons change. However, he waits patiently, as if he's drinking a cup of tea.

Then he begins his 102nd movie one cold January. We accompany him on his time and feel what he feels when he drinks his cup of tea.
