Jay, a promising young writer, is publishing her new book, while her boyfriend
Geonwoo, who teaches at a private language school, is tipped for promotion. They
love each other, take care of each other, and have a great rapport. Until an
unplanned pregnancy throws them off course. They didn’t want a child and
starting a family would jeopardise their career prospects. Yet who’s to have
the last word if they can’t agree on a solution to the situation? The Korean
director presents a tale eclipsed by a sense of dejection in a subtle portrayal
of a couple arriving at a crossroads in their life together. When else should
one break the taboos of parenthood and the preconceptions of motherhood than
when a woman’s right to decide what happens to her own body is again called
into question.
