Freshly laid off from her post as a temporary worker, Jin-hee decides to seek out an old friend from her middle school drama club, Ye-won. She finds that Ye-won is now a secretary at a large corporation, looking peaceful and content although she has given up on her dream of becoming an actress. As they converse and reminisce, they realize that despite their current differences, what unites them are the shared aspirations they abandoned when faced with a cold economic reality. Can the two women find in each other a new source of inspiration, or will their meeting only reinforce life’s ruthlessness?
