Synopsis:
One day PAK, 70, a taxi driver who refuses to retire, meets HOI, 65, a retired single father in a park. Despite years of societal and personal pressure, they are proud of the families they have created through hard work and determination. Yet in that brief initial encounter, something is unleashed in them which had been suppressed for so many years. As both men recount and recall their personal histories, they also contemplate a possible future together.
