In his forties, Yun-cheol (Park Jong-hwan) is divorced and has failed to live up to his early potential as a sculptor. But new currents are swirling in his life. For one, his artistically gifted daughter Gina (Lee Yeon) has decided to drop out of high school and enter a Buddhist temple. Yun-cheol, who himself once imagined becoming a monk, is not sure what to think of his daughter’s decision, but he makes an effort to understand her. At the same time, he forms a romantic attachment with an independent-minded history lecturer Young-ji (Kang Kyung-hun). As time passes, nothing in Yun-cheol’s life proceeds according to plan, but these relationships develop and deepen in unexpected ways.
