A is a young pre-school teacher who loves children and yearns to be a mother but is diagnosed to be infertile. As an escape from her life, she spends her nights in a cinema. K is a five years old boy who is about to have a little sister. He shares his excitement with A, and unknowingly further agitates her emotions of being infertile. K is not old enough to understand her yet. Years later, K becomes a film director who is now making a film about a young pre-school teacher who loves children and yearns to be a mother but is diagnosed to be infertile.
