SYNOPSIS

Juhyun, a senior in art school, is living alone in Seoul. One day, her older sister, Seohyun, who has been working in Italy for the past 10 years as an art restorer, suddenly returns to Korea. As soon as Seohyun arrives, she gives Juhyun an address and asks her to go with her. The destination is the house of Seohyun’s ex-fiancé. Seohyun insists on returning the engagement ring and demands to be taken to Seoul immediately without even unpacking. Reluctantly, Juhyun accompanies her sister. The two spend the day wandering around Seoul. After 10 years apart, the sisters find it difficult to understand each other, given their large age gap, the years they’ve missed, and the different cultures they've experienced while living in separate cities. As they walk through Seoul, their relationship steadily heads toward a breaking point.
