One day of work at a café in Seoul, Hyo-seo gets a phone call from a Polish guy in the Netherlands, who is about to start a new life in the Netherlands in attempt to get over his ex-girlfriend.
Meanwhile to Hyun-o, his ex-girlfriend shows up one night and says, ‘You ruined my life. So, this is a pay-off torture.’ She sticks around Hyun-o all night.
Young-soo, who has been hiding his gay identity, loses his virginity with a girl who visits him one day. His long-time lover Woon-cheol is heartbroken by unilateral break-up notice.
Hye-young, the vocalist of an indie band gets annoyed by her fellow member Ju-young’s petty ideas about love while taking a walk in Namsan park. As she gets upset with his stupid story, she realizes her own foolishness. They start a little gig at the mouth of Namsan. Autumn is passing, and winter is around the corner.

I wanted to tell a little selfish love stories along with personal desire, selfishness, sympathy, enormous foolishnesses and rites of passage. In the middle of life, there is a certain period when love is imbued with a massive prominence. I wanted to suggest an amusing talk about this period of love.
The five love stories merge into one face. It’s an ode to love sung by five couples in Seoul when autumn turns to winter.
