Amy who was adopted to American as a child, visits a Jjigae restaurant in Seoul. She introduces herself as a chef from U.S to Eun-sun, the owner of the restaurant after her mother passed away, and asks Eun-sun how to make Jjigae. Little by little, Amy can not hide her feelings about Eun-sun’s mother. Eun-sun gradually begins to have doubts about Amy.

 

An adopted woman who has just arrived at South Korea to find her mother.

A woman who has just lost her mother.

Jjigae is a story about these two women.

I want to take a glimpse at the aspect of our life which we encounter unintentionally through these two women’s meeting.
