A contemplative study of female friendship and unspoken tensions, where surface pleasantries mask deeper currents of longing, disconnection, and unresolved feeling.

While her husband is on a business trip, Gamhee meets three of her friends. She visits the first two at their homes, and the third she encounters by chance at a theater. While they make friendly conversation, as always, several currents flow independently above and below the surface of the sea.
