San is twenty-two and alone when she happens upon a job at a flower shop in Seoul's bustling city centre. Haunted by childhood rejection, she stumbles through life - vulnerable and unsure. She barely registers to others, especially by the ruthless standards of 1990s South Korea. But over the course of that one summer, San meets a curious cast of characters, from the taciturn shop owner to an enigmatic magazine photographer. Fuelled by a quiet desperation to jump-start her life, she dares to dream of connection in an unforgiving world.
