Myeong-hee meets her older sister Se-hee, who was separated during the Korean War through a reunion program for separated families. Upon meeting Se-hee, Myeong-hee is saddened to learn that she is not the older sister she remembered as a child. Myeong-hee and Se-hee feel a sense of alienation and distance due to the anti-communist ideology that swept South Korea after the Korean War, and the differences in their daily life and language. Myeong-hee, who expected to remember the past and have a great time with her sister, is greatly disappointed. But the awkwardness between the two is not their fault.
