Each day the surgeon Gong checks on a man who set a fire and leapt while burning, and now lies in a coma; sunk deep inside himself, he recalls for her the paralysed hero of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. He also brings back Hyun-woo, her partner of five years, a photographer just winning recognition, who was driving to an interview on the day of the fire. Nothing ties the patient to Hyun-woo's absence, yet she cannot keep them apart.
