Synopsis This film tells the heartbreaking love story of Jeong-Won (Seok-Kyu Han), a photographer facing death, and Da-Rim (Eun-Ha Shim), a parking law enforcer. Jeong-Won, dying from a terminal illness, chooses to face the last days of his life alone inside his small photo studio at the edge of Seoul city. One day he chances cross Da-Rim, who is enforcing the parking laws on a street near the photo studio. The two grow closer and closer, nurturing their love for one another- but Jeongwon’s health fails him, and he is carried off to the hospital, leaving Da-Rim waiting outside the closed door of the photo studio without a clue as to what is going on. When Christmas arrives, Da-Rim visits the studio once more, and smiles at the sight of a framed photo of her hanging on the wall- not knowing that Jeong-Won is already gone. |
