Just Between Lovers

A major accident takes the lives of 48 people. The lives of the survivors, those who lost loved ones in the accident, and individuals connected to the parties blamed for the tragic event are also marked forever.

When he was 15, Lee Gang Doo dreamed of playing for the Korean national soccer team, but a serious injury sustained as a result of the accident destroys those dreams. In the years after the accident, Gang Doo spends his days fighting through physical and emotional pain, struggling to support his sister and pay back a hefty debt, and living roughly.

When she was 15, Ha Moon Soo lived through the accident, and years later she is still plagued by nightmares. She lives above the women’s bath house that her mother runs and specializes in making architectural models that are an important safety element in any major building planning process.

Years after the incident, a construction project is due to kick-off at the accident site. The project brings back painful memories for Gang Doo, Moon Soo, and many others connected to the accident. Some oppose the project, while others become involved in the construction process. As these people cross paths, they help each other to confront their trauma and overcome their pain. Together they move forward and find a new will to live and embrace the future.
