한 아이에게 온 마을이

When her husband, a teacher, is transferred, the pregnant Jeongju moves with him to a remote village in the hills, among strangers. The villagers greet her with prejudice and uninvited meddling, and little by little she loses any sense of where she ends and others begin. Her unease turns to fear, and she finds herself missing the countless anonymous faces of the city's rush hour: life among people who never knew her, set against life among people who are sure they know each other and in truth know nothing.
