줄거리

서울 변두리에서 작은 사진관을 운영하고 있는 삼십대 중반의 정원(한석규). 시한부 인생을 선고받은 상태이지만 모든 것을 받아들인 그의 일상은 지극히 담담할 뿐이다. 하지만 어느날 생기발랄한 주차 단속원 다림(심은하)을 만난 후 그는 미묘한 마음의 동요를 느낀다. 그러나 정원은 죽음을 앞두고 다림에 대한 마음을 정리하고, 다림은 이를 오해한다. 죽음을 앞둔 청년에게 다가오는 범상한 것들의 소중함, 삶과 죽음의 연속성에 대한 소탈한 깨달음이 묵직하게 다가오는 영화.

Barely in his mid-30's, but perhaps too aware of the meaning of death, Jung-Won accepts his fate despite the subtle gestures of concern he gets from his old father and younger sister.

Her daily visits to develop snapshots of parking violations and her. Somewhat bold attempts to capture his attention stir feelings of anticipation inside Jung-Won. As his health gradually deteriorates, Jung-Won is faced with the painful duty of bidding farewell to family, friends, to the studio and to Darim...
