SYNOPSIS
The daughter and sons are busy. The daughter, Kyun-jin, has got divorced and is now taking care of her autistic son. The oldest son, In-chul, has lost his job and is busy finding another job. The youngest son, In-ho, doesn't have a decent job but manages to get by through driving a delivery truck and working as a chauffeur. Their parents don't blame their children for not calling or visiting on their mother's birthday. The father makes a gift of a hamburger to his wife. She had never tasted one before, but enjoys it instead of a birthday cake. The youngest son, In-ho, argues with a customer over money, killing him on his mother's birthday. -
