love Soon-im.

Life is Beautiful, Summer, 1994 : Young-ho is thirty-five and is the owner of a

In the arms of a barmaid in a beat up room, he cries out for Soon-im.

Prayer, Autumn, 1984: Young-ho is a rookie cop on his first beat. He can
barely stomach the violent tempers of his senior officers but at the same time

innocence, he refuses Soon-im's affections and marries Hong-ja.

Visit, May, 1980: Newly enlisted soldier Young-ho watches as Soon-im is
turned away from the base. He wants to yell after her but keeps silent and

Picnic, Autumn, 1979: Young-ho and Soon-im have just turned twenty. They
are overcome by their pure love for each other. At this moment, the
peppermint candy that Soon-im gives him is the sweetest thing that Young-
