Young-hee is an actress who has left Seoul after a highly publicized affair with a married man, who is also a colleague and a well-known film director. The first part of the film is set in Hamburg, where Young-hee stays with her older friend Jee-young and the latter's English-speaking German artist acquaintances. The two walk around a street market, a park, and a bookstore. Jeeyoung says she has no more desire for men, and Younghee encourages her to play around. Later, Young-hee and her friends visit the beach. The camera pans to Young-hee's friends, and then back to Young-hee being carried off over the shoulder of a man.
The film's second part begins with Young-hee sitting in a movie theater, lingering for a while after the lights come up and the theater empties. It is winter; Young-hee has returned to Gangneung, Korea, and reunites with several old friends over dinner and drinks. She falls asleep on the beach, and dreams of having dinner with the director, where she both confronts and reunites with him.
