Plot

Munja is a woman in her 40s who works as a proofreader at a publishing house and lives with Hansu. Hansu is a married man, and Munja and Hansu’s decade-long relationship is condemned by people around them. However, Munja emphasizes an absolute being’s standard of judgment rather than a worldly one, and does not give up her love and sacrifice.
