Film Description:

In rural Korea, a woman lives alone — tending the fire, keeping the yard, setting a table for one. She writes a letter every day. Her children visit each spring, filling the house with laughter before the road takes them away again. On the day of the first snow, her calendar is covered in circles — every day she chose to remember. Then the final letter’s recipient is revealed. He is no longer living. Jeong — that untranslatable Korean bond — does not end with loss. It keeps writing letters that will never be answered.
