On impulse, a young woman drives from Seoul to see her best friend, but also meets up with her older professor, and then a former lover. Drinks ensue, and surprises are revealed for all four characters. Hong packs a lot into a 31 minute film.

“At the very beginning of my career, I had to write a complete script to get funding and had to write everything, where we would be at what time, and what would be said. I don't like that process. I feel more like a painter, using the mountains, the sun, the wind, and working from what’s there. It’s curious what happens to me when I’m there, and I have a canvas. It’s a joy to see what happens.”
