SYNOPSIS
A widowed mother works as a street vendor in Seoul, selling whatever she can to keep her two children fed. Her days blur together in a cycle of early mornings and exhausting labor, but she moves through the city with quiet determination, always scanning for the next opportunity to earn a few won. Her teenage daughter has begun to drift away, caught between childhood and adulthood, while her younger son clings to the routines she creates for him. When the family's precarious balance threatens to collapse, the mother must confront painful truths about sacrifice, resilience, and whether love alone can sustain them through another season. The film captures the texture of survival in a bustling city where thousands of people chase similar dreams, each carrying their own invisible weight. What emerges is an intimate portrait of everyday hardship, not as tragedy to be mourned, but as the lived reality of those who persist anyway. This is a story about the gaps between what we need and what we have, told with unflinching tenderness.
