Going about their everyday lives, Solongo, a pregnant Mongolian woman, and Myung-jin, an abstract painter, are connected only by the street they both frequent in Seoul. Carrying their separate memories, melancholic hearts and hopes for a new life, they are circled by an enigmatic ten-year-old girl on a scooter who inspires them to contemplate what is and what might have been.
