Synopsis

Still on the rebound from a failed relationship two years ago, Sang-Weon and Yeong-Shil meet by chance and agree to give it another go. They try to sleep together and then decide on a suicide pact. But the pills they swallow cause nothing much worse than headaches, and they stagger back into their mundane domestic realities at which point the movie ends and Tong-Su emerges from the retrospective screening on to the streets of Seoul. Also in the audience was the actress who played Yeong-Shil, now, of course, several years older. Tong-Su spots her and strikes up a conversation. They launch into a very tentative relationship which uncannily echoes the one in the movie.
