When her father was alive, he never allowed her to meet a Japanese man, but her mother happily prepares the traditional chicken soup that’s only served to sons-in-law in Korea. Though shocked by the photos of KIM IL-SUNG on the wall, her fiancé says, “our ideologies are different but let’s enjoy the soup”. And now as a husband, he stands by them when the mother gets Alzheimer’s disease after confessing her old-time buried hometown secret that the daughter never knew; Jeju uprising.
