One day, a letter arrives for Jeong-ae from her mother, who had left her a long time ago. Believing that finding her long lost mother is her last hope, she decides to contact her.

On her journey, she finds someone she thinks may be a friend's birth father. Given the chance to stay at his house, she is attracted to this man as a father, rather than her bedridden one. It appears that Jeong-ae misses a father figure that can be a strong, warm hedge around her, more so than a biological blood relation. However, this is a longing that must be overcome with maturity. She concluds to go out again in search of her mother.
