PLOT : When 18-year-old Ha-min eats his mother Eun-sil’s home cooking, he begins to notice the number 365 drops every time he eats her food. Convinced the countdown marks the remaining days of his mother’s life, Ha-min starts refusing her meals and making excuses to avoid sitting at her table, desperate to stop the number from ever reaching zero. This sudden rejection fractures their relationship, as Eun-sil, whose entire love language is expressed through her recipes, believes her son has grown ashamed of their modest life. Years later, still haunted by the figure, he lives cautiously and at a careful distance from home. Just as he begins to find peace alongside his girlfriend, an unexpected truth shatters everything he believed, turning his world upside down.
