Synopsis

Families who are having a difficult time accepting their dog getting older and losing its energy. As their place is selected as a redevelopment area, the families move, but the old dog barks as if it is reluctant to leave its old house. In the end, they all move to the house of the eldest son. Not long after, however, the dog separates itself from the family and goes back to the old house to live as an abandoned dog. Despite seeing the shabby appearance of the old dog, the families ignored the dog, and soon they become used to this uncomfortable feeling. On a rainy day, the second brother sees the old dog lying on its deathbed. Given the situation where it is difficult to evade or avoid, the brothers reluctantly take turns in taking care of the old dog.

Director's Comment

My mother, who gave birth to me with her maternal affection, raised me with love, and sacrificed herself for her child. As the years passed, I grew distant to my mother, turned into a stranger, and locked the door from my mother. I lived, forgetting about her until she was old and diseased, and died alone. Some people realize the fact that their mothers will pass away soon, but some do not realize it until it happens. Sometimes, I would wake up in shock early in the morning, thinking about the horrible and cruel things I did in the past. I was so foolish back then, and I regret it a lot, so I wanted to talk about this story containing the guilt I feel towards my mother.
