Divided into separate stories, the film follows the everyday lives of four characters whose lives all interconnect at some point in their respective narratives.
First up, there’s Hyo Sub, a struggling writer who is romantically involved with both Min Jae and Po Kyong, who get their own individual narratives later in the film. Min Jae is a twenty-four year old woman who works several odd jobs just to make ends meet and is head over heels in love with Hyo Sub, even though he treats her poorly. Po Kyung is Hyo Sub’s true object of affection, but despite her mutual regard for him, she’s married to someone else. That “someone else” is Dong Woo, who is the focus of the second narrative. He heads out of town on business for his water purifier company, but ends up spending the night in a seedy motel with a prostitute. As the film develops, pieces of the puzzle begin to lock into place, as viewers begin to see the bigger picture. But what will they see?
