Synopsis
A mute couple takes a taxi to visit their parents' graves. When the taxi comes to a bumpy, unpaved road, the driver refuses to continue on. The couple walks the rest of the trip. They finally arrive at their destination, but their child becomes injured while playing in the woods. Unable to get help, they wait hopelessly at an isolated bus stop. As snow falls more heavily, the couple decides to walk rather than wait for the bus to arrive...
Director's Note
One day, I saw the figure of the couple who was waiting for the bus at the bus stop. The story of the movie is the poverty that comes with the couple's life. Though the car may be the means of conveyance in a simple sense, all of us do not possess a car. I want to show the human strong figure by presenting the process of overcoming incessant grief though they experience it because of the car.
