Synopsis

Hee-jin is at a funeral by the sudden death of her husband. Her husband has left his will saying “Don't ask to the ground and have them cremated and scattered in the Yellow Sea.” So she and her daughter go to the Yellow Sea. Hee-jin with Skeleton box arrives in the Yellow Sea and she soon finds a breathtaking sight and is welcomed by an unexpected journey.

Director's Note

I wanted to try not to be heavier but heavier than the heavy widow subject.
