A bittersweet musical journey through memory and mortality, where a terminally ill woman and her devoted husband rediscover life's beauty by chasing the past.

Suddenly learning she is terminally ill, Se-yeon asks her husband, Jin-bong the absurd task of helping her find her first love, and he unwillingly joins her search. Along their journey, Se-yeon and Jin-bong are reminded of the most glittering, beautiful moments of their lives.
