Synopsis

The monk hadn't been home for a long time. He came back this time to take care of his dying mother. But his mother kept staring at him. It turned out that the monk was the only son in his family. When he became a monk, his family had a serious quarrel. Becoming a monk became an issue between the two from that moment on. When they finally met in a room, the monk tried to get close to his mother, but his mother would rather look at the wall than see him. Even when the mother was leaving this world, it was still so difficult to bridge the chasm. The mother passed away late in the morning. The last thing the monk had to do was handle her body. Even though the monk hadn't been home for 20 years, memories were flooding through his mind. He began to lose control of the feelings he had buried deep inside.
