70-year-old Pak is a quiet man with a big heart for his granddaughter. The cab driver has cared for his wife and children all his life, but he has also carried a secret with him for just as long: Pak is gay. When he meets the divorced family man Hoi on a park bench, the two immediately feel attracted to each other. They increasingly withdraw together behind closed doors in order to spend time with each other. There’s a silent sense of hope in the air, but it threatens to vanish into the repetition of daily family life. SUK SUK calmly devotes itself with sensuous and warm images to a love that is considered taboo: the love between (old) men, which is almost entirely rebuked by traditional families and society.
