It’s been a year since Bo-Young got divorced. She is tired and even the most trivial conflict is hard for her to endure. The more she tries to carry on, the harder it seems to get. One day, Bo-Young leaves her daughter with her blind father to give a lecture at a training institute. There she rooms with Cheong-Nam who is also a divorced woman and they stay up all night drinking beer, sharing stories that were never told before. When Bo- Young returns to her father’s house, her disabled father unexpectedly gives her words of encouragement, and for the first time in a year, she prepares breakfast for her daughter.
