Synopsis
He sacrificed himself for love, taking the blame for a crime she committed. Unable to repay him for the sacrifice he made, she leaves to start a new life. Many years later, the former lovers meet again, but their estranged yet intertwined daily lives gradually unveil their tragic past. While one of them seeks redemption, the other yearns for release. In a painful and final farewell, they awaken from their wandering for one last heart-wrenching embrace.
Director’s Statement
Sacrifice and redemption — this is a story about morals. A man sacrifices himself for love and takes the blame for a crime his lover committed. And yet, she then betrays him and leaves. The man and the woman are lovers, but they also resent each other. When they meet again many years later, they find that repentance brings no pardon and sacrifice brings no justice. In a final farewell at the bus station, they engage in a last desperate attempt at redemption.
