- Colonial Joseon before the March 1st Independence Movement
While studying in Tokyo, Japan, Yi Inhwa receives a telegram that his wife has fallen critically ill. But instead of leaving for Joseon immediately, he goes drinking and meets up with his girlfriend Ulla. On the ferry to Busan, he sees people being interrogated and humiliated by Japanese policemen simply for being Korean. A little after Yi Inhwa arrives in Seoul, his wife dies and he hosts her funeral. Afterward, he leaves for Tokyo in spite of his family’s attempts to dissuade him.
