Bohee, a middle school student who lives with his mother learns one day that his father is alive. Feeling betrayed by his own mother, Bohee runs away from home and visits his half-sister Namhee with his best friend Nokyang to collect clues about his father.
Kyung-hye is having a minor friction with her daughter Ye-shin, who is going through puberty every day by day. Moreover, both Ye-shin and Kyung-hye are on edge because Ye-shin seems to have a boyfriend. But one day, Kyung-hye sees Ye-shin and her best friend Su-jeong kissing in front of her house.
A storm is coming; the winds are getting strong. The real source of the ominous winds lies with Jina, who finds the strange word 'LingLing' written in her father’s notebook. She suspects he is cheating on her mother, who appears to be bored with life and fills the house with potted plants as if to show for her apathy. The film too is riddled with images of humid air and foul-smelling water, impure and overflowing. The sway of her father’s fishing pole and the flutters in Jina’s skirt seem perilous and unstable. When her anxiety and doubts finally come to a head, the family squarely face the rough downpour brought on by the storm. The director’s talent in boldly translating the characters desires and sensibilities into a narrative with powerful imagery is quite impressive.
A boy in early teens finds himself in danger of being demoted from his solo part in a choir due to his changing voice. He tries to fight against it, but to no avail.
