For the first time in four years, a daughter returns to Daegu, South Korea, determined to end a long-standing family conflict. Her parents have been hurting each other for years, unable to live harmoniously. Despite efforts for peace, old wounds remain unhealed. Through conversations with her parents, she uncovers a pattern of intergenerational domestic violence deeply embedded in her family’s history. Ultimately, she realizes she must be the one to break the cycle.
