Synopsis

One freezing winter, a man is trembling from the penetrating cold. He spots a bungeoppang (“fish-shaped bread”) store that is deserted and ownerless. He walks in to make a hot, steaming bun for himself but is soon faced with a crowd of customers clamoring for well-made bungeoppangs. Bewildered, he hesitantly sells all but one last lump of dough. While he is waiting for the last remaining bun to be cooked, a stranger stops in front of him.
