A mother and daughter’s struggle against the shadow of death.

After her brother’s suicide, Yoonseul can barely face her mother, Haesuk. Yoonseul returns home after a long absence, only to be shocked by the chaotic, unrecognizable state of the house. Starved of appetite, obsessed with church affairs, and driving off impulsively in the dead of night, Haesuk’s life seems to be teetering on the edge. As Yoonseul’s anxiety deepens, she steps into her mother’s fragile world, only to become entangled in an unforeseen accident– a fallout from a local tragedy— that transforms their standing in the community in a single, fateful night.

In Korea, a life is lost to suicide every 40 minutes, yet these deaths remain unspoken— concealed, denied mourning, and leaving the bereaved in quiet exile. Where do these suppressed sorrows and unhealed wounds go? Through the lens of a religious community that rejects suicide, this film contemplates the unseen agony of those left behind and poses a fundamental question: Is grief an entitlement? Does death itself have a hierarchy?
