부석사

A card from P, the man who left her to marry someone else, says he will call on New Year's Day. To be gone when he comes, the narrator asks the man who lives in her building to drive with her to Buseok Temple in Yeongju. He agrees: Park, a producer who slandered him at work, has announced a visit for the same day. With her dog on the back seat and only a road map to guide them, the two near-strangers, each keeping a wound to themselves, head into the hills towards a temple named after a rock that seems to float above another.
