Sixteen year old Soonie is married to the ten-year old son of the local
Korean medicine doctor. Married to a child, Soonie is subjected to the hard
life of the traditional daughter-in-law. Ten tears pass and her husband, who
has gone away to study, returns with a stylish 'modern woman' dressed in
Western clothes. When Soonie finds out that the woman is carrying her
husband's child, she quietly packs her bag and leaves. Years later, Soonie
is living in a small village as a widow. Duk-soon, the village potter, takes her
to his home, confessing his love for her. Soonie accepts his pure and
sincere love, and the two of them live in happiness and growing affection.
Then one day, Duk-soon is killed in an accident... Again the years pass and
one winter Soonie, alone and struggle to survive, takes in a woman and child
on the run from an abusive husband. When the woman is forced to give up
the child, Soonie takes him in and devotes herself to the child with all her
heart.
