Picnic (2023)

[bunniefuu]

(PICNIC)

I just watered them this morning!

Some of them dry up fast

when the sunlight is good.

You have to check each one

and water those often.

Even though they all get

the same amount of sun?

Yes. You don't drink much water,

but you have a friend

who does, right?

That applies to plants as well.

They're all different.

Then you know which ones like

or don't like water, Mom?

How?

I don't know all of them.

I know these

because I watch them every day

and take care of them.

So if you watch them every day

and take care of them,

isn't that love?

Wow. You're so smart.

Yes, that's love.

Mom! Stop loving me.

Stop looking at my face so much.

You'll wear it out.

- Father!

- You startled me.

Did you catch a lot of fish?

Did you buy my present?

Mom.

What's wrong with you?

You had a dream?

You must miss grandpa a lot,

right?

I look a lot like him, right?

What are you doing there?

Do you have nail clippers?

You need money again?

You're stealing my stamp

and my bankbook?

No!

I rang the doorbell several times.

Want me to get you a hearing aid?

Is it the weekend already?

It can't be.

Tae-eun!

Greet your Grandma properly.

She's upset at her dad.

Why?

Mother, look at this.

Does Mother really need

to look at this?

Move!

Your son's on TV.

It's nothing to boast about...

Shut up!

Paco Chicken sold cheap oil

at a high price to its franchisees

and is now

under police investigation.

Cheap oil increases cholesterol

and is known to cause neurological

and cardiovascular diseases.

This has escalated to both

online and offline boycotts.

People are at our place.

We can't stay there.

Are you here to hide?

If we don't pay off the loan,

we are sure to lose the apartment.

You took out a loan?

What else could I do?

With so many things to pay for.

My stomach.

Jeez!

This house is all I have left.

I'm not dying anytime soon.

Mom, my life is on the line!

I'll buy you a nicer place

when everything gets better.

I want to live here till I die.

Also, I think I'll be dead

before you even make it.

It must be so nice for you.

You got my building

and a life insurance payoff.

That's right! Mom.

You have lots of insurance, right?

There were insurance companies

in your building before, right?

Wait a second.

How much can we take out?

We're in big trouble.

We can live here.

But if the business goes under,

what will happen to Tae-eun?

What about studying abroad

in Canada?

You want me to pay for that?

Yes.

Am I just money to you too?

If we miss this opportunity,

Tae-eun will fall behind.

It's all pointless.

Look at Hae-woong.

It's different. You just needed

a college degree back then.

I should have just paid

for his college.

I ruined him by funding

his business too!

Mom!

But it's for studying abroad.

Besides,

Tae-eun's not like her dad.

Honey?

How can you say that?

Hae-woong also got good grades.

She takes after you.

She'll be good at everything.

Did you order something?

Who is it?

Mother-in-law!

Mom!

The smell of bean paste is good.

Give me something to eat.

You didn't even call ahead.

Is something wrong?

Why, am I not welcome here?

Are you visiting too?

Good. I get to see all of you.

How've you been?

What?

Why are you staring at me?

Is something weird?

You've gotten quite old.

What kind of greeting is that

to someone you haven't seen

in over a decade?

That's not nice.

Let's head out and get dinner.

Mother! I set the table.

Hey, my daughter

went through all the trouble...

Having dinner with him

will make me sick.

All right. Then let's go

try a restaurant in Seoul.

Mother-in-law, please have a seat!

(BURGER)

City girls really are different!

This is too many.

Definitely not a city girl.

Is he in serious trouble?

What's wrong with him?

Maybe because he grew up soft.

You spoiled him too much.

He thought he could

control everything.

I'm parched.

You didn't even order any drinks!

I raised him wrong.

So are you going to

help him again?

All I have is the house.

Then you'd better not.

You must protect your house!

What if he sells it

when you're not home?

He can't.

These days, they check the papers

and the person when you sell.

How can you think of my son

as a thug?

What do you mean?

You know how fond I am of him.

Let's go home.

I want to see my grandkid.

I don't want to go home.

I came all the way here.

What about me?

And what about all this?

Stop complaining!

What did you say?

Right. You'd sulk a lot.

Are you sulking?

Grumpy.

Sulky! Sulky!

- Grumpy, grumpy, grumpy!

- Sulky! Sulky!

This is good.

Shall we visit Cheong-ja?

Seo Cheong-ja from middle school?

Is this the right place?

Yes. Look.

No one lives there.

What do you mean?

Isn't this Seo Cheong-ja's place?

Don't know her name

but her son took the old lady

a few months ago.

They emigrated abroad.

- Abroad?

- Yes.

Suddenly? With no notice?

They put the place up for sale.

They asked me to open the door

if someone comes to see it.

Hello, Mr. Kim.

The thing I asked you for.

A clean one billion.

Hello? Hello?

My dear friend, Dong-jun.

You jerk, Chief Dong-jun!

You said the oil was fine.

You said they use it

all over Southeast Asia

and it tastes better.

Damn. Hey!

Recording failed.

To record, press one.

Damn it.

What?

Mother is staying out tonight.

Where is she going?

She is running away.

She doesn't want to see you.

She is probably going to

a spa with your mother.

What about the fines and taxes?

The fines?

This is business funding,

Mi-hyeon.

I'm busy making phone calls.

Wake up.

You lost all

your business partners

and friends long ago.

All you have left is your mother.

So you had better call her

and put her at ease.

I just need one thing.

You'd better come up with

Tae-eun's study-abroad expenses.

This is my last warning.

Why does everyone hang up on me?

Oh, my!

Who is it?

What the hell!

I know you work outdoors,

but use some sunblock.

As if sunblock would help.

It can't be avoided.

You're slathering on

all that lotion.

What a waste.

A dry field needs water too.

Right?

Who the hell put a mirror

up there?

Did Geum-sun come to you?

She came a few days ago

and I'm not the only one.

She never goes anywhere.

I got a bad feeling.

I think she's saying her goodbyes.

Why?

What's the occasion?

You came all dressed up.

For our kids' engagement party,

you came wearing old clothes.

That's because I came

straight from work.

Do you have other business

in Seoul?

No, I don't.

Then let's go to your place.

My place?

Oh, my.

You mean you'll come back home?

Yeah.

Wait. You...

Are you dying?

That's not it.

I just think it's time.

Indeed, you're right.

You should come home

at least once before you die.

How long has it been

since you left?

Barely one month

after my mother passed.

I was 16.

This is gardenia yellow.

This is indigo blue.

Mom.

It's so pretty.

Are you making my outfit

with this?

Mom, what flower dye

is this color from?

Rugosa Rose.

Really?

Is Rugosa Rose dye this pretty?

Mom. Can you make me

an outfit with that?

Mom! What's wrong?

Shall I get the doctor?

Eun-sim.

Eun-sim.

What's wrong with you?

Are you seeing things?

No one came, right?

You don't see them, right?

You and I are the only ones here.

The medicine is so strong.

I keep seeing my mom.

What medicine?

Have you gotten dementia?

Parkinson's.

What?

The one where your hands shake,

and you can't walk properly?

That's what happens eventually.

Do the kids know?

Mi-hyeon didn't say anything.

I didn't tell them.

The moment they know it,

they'll sell my house

and stick me in a nursing home.

Don't say that!

You should have told me at least.

If you knew,

Mi-hyeon would also know.

- But the kids...

- No!

Don't tell them!

Why aren't you coming?

Grandma!

(NAMHAE)

This way.

This way.

Hurry up.

What's that?

(NO TO BUILDING A NEW RESORT)

They're building a resort.

Tearing everything down.

In this old place?

I know.

What will you do?

I don't know.

They're all protesting.

You sound like you don't care.

Hurry up!

All right!

You're here.

Go inside and rest.

I'll go to the field quickly.

(SOJU)

'Raising Chili Peppers'

'Raising chili peppers is hard,

nothing is ever easy'

'Typhoon'

'Life by the sea is hard...'

That's true.

'I hate the sea breeze,

would things be better

if my husband were alive?'

You have big dreams.

'Rugosa Rose by Jin Geum-sun'

'Rugosa Roses that grew everywhere

in our town when we were young

are hard to find now,

but they'll surely blossom again

this year,

my youth is gone,

but Rugosa will blossom again...

Rugosa as pretty as my friend

will blossom again this year,

I miss my friend'

I walk along the beach

where Rugosa Roses bloom

I walk along the beach

where Rugosa Roses bloom

I'm walking alone

when far off on the horizon

- What are you looking at?

- What the...

A pair of gulls flickers

in the distance

At the beach

where the water is calm

Let me see.

Eun-sim, let's eat. It's ready.

You should work in a restaurant

instead of the fields.

This will be a hit.

You think a restaurant's easy?

Do you write poems?

You saw that?

I saw some old women

in the country on TV.

They learned to read and write

and wrote about their lives.

I finished middle school,

so I have no reason not to.

You did it on your own?

Where would I go to learn?

It would be nice to

have a teacher, though.

But why use

the back of a calendar?

Don't you have papers?

Well, all the old women used it.

So, I did too.

That calendar paper is the best

for writing.

I like it. Keep writing.

No. I was just copying them.

If you keep them together,

I'll publish them in a book.

A poetry book?

It would be faster

to find me a husband.

Was that a joke?

Or do you really want

to get married?

What the hell!

Try this.

Wow. It's really good.

Oh, my.

Your son called.

Only when he needs something.

I heard he visits you

with Tae-eun sometimes.

Did Mi-hyeon tell you?

So what?

He just stares at his cell phone.

I feel more alone when he's there.

But...

Not everyone can come

every weekend to eat together.

And taking care of Tae-eun.

Tae-eun seems tired from studying.

She got thinner than before.

It brings me to tears.

Does your son come often?

Don't even bring him up.

Something's wrong with him.

What does he do in Busan?

Can't do much in his state.

He helps his wife sell ttteokbokki

in front of a school.

Your son is handsome.

Looks are everything for a man.

Right?

I think Tae-eun takes after me.

She looks very elegant.

That explains why there are

no mirrors in your house.

Of course there are.

There's one there, and...

Was that a joke?

That mouth of yours.

What have you been doing?

There's barely anything.

What? It's a lot!

I'm too tired to do anymore.

You have to finish this

before bed.

Don't slack off!

I'm aching all over.

You're hopeless.

The school was closed down.

There are no kids now.

Where did all our friends go...

Take this. It's fresh. Just $3.

Not interested.

- This fatsia sprouts...

- It's heavy!

You're here.

- You bought all that?

- I didn't buy much.

You paid for that?

Of course. Nothing's free.

Don't you see this here?

What am I selling?

- Yes, but...

- For God's sake.

What should I do?

I can't go on.

An old lady was crouched down...

No one's young around here.

Do I look young?

But she looked over 100 years old!

Yeah, whatever. Good job.

Geum-sun!

We should have soup

when we're at the market!

- She's so...

- Soup, my a*s.

Geum-sun! We need to eat!

Here's the makgeolli.

Sir. You should have

sent the boys.

I should work hard before I die.

One makgeolli, please.

Your voice is still so pretty.

You must not be from around here.

I'll take it to her.

What do you...

You're Eun-sim, right?

Don't you remember me? Tae-h*.

I used to follow you around.

At the beach

where the water is calm

- Remember?

- How have you been?

You changed a lot.

I must have had

a good dream last night

to run into you.

- You ate? This place is good.

- Yeah...

Sir. Today's the protest.

People are waiting.

Let them wait.

Nothing's more important than

seeing my first love

after 60 years.

Here!

Cheers.

- It's good.

- I made it.

You did?

Three generations from my father

to my daughter.

Hello?

Okay. I'm on my way.

I'll be right there.

Hold your horses.

Isn't the protest

against the resort?

- How do you know that?

- I'm staying at Geum-sun's.

You are? What a fool...

Not you, Geum-sun.

She should have told me

right away.

Are you guys close?

One of my few best friends left.

Eun-sim!

I'll come to her place later.

It's good to see you!

It's great.

I'm off!

- Sulky!

- What?

You've lost it.

You sulking again?

Where the hell were you?

At the soup place.

I ate a ton.

Got some for you too!

That looks heavy.

- Are you drunk?

- Yeah!

Guess who I met?

Someone recognized you?

Tae-h*!

Wow. Where?

- At the soup place!

- Ma'am!

Hi, there!

Yun-ju. I was about to go see you.

Thanks for watering my field.

It's no big deal.

But why didn't you come today?

Why? What happened?

I knew it.

How many times did I say,

'2 p.m. at the district office.'

Oh, dear! I forgot.

Was it a big turnout?

Not at all.

Is she your friend?

Yes, that's correct, Miss.

No need for formalities, Ma'am.

Let's go. The after-party

is at Yeong-man's fish place.

My father said to bring

your friend too.

She's Tae-h*'s daughter.

She's the Youth Group president.

Geum-sun, you go on ahead.

I'm going to lie down for an hour.

Then I'll go with you.

It's all right.

I just need to rest a bit

when the medications wear off.

All right, then. Go rest.

A protest is all about numbers.

This turnout won't

intimidate anyone.

If we stick together,

that'll be our strength.

Our whole neighborhood's

barely 50 people.

If people slip out like today,

we've got no chance.

- Isn't that right?

- That's right!

Why are you looking at me?

Those who were absent today

should all be there next time!

Come on. Let's have a toast!

- To Pyeongsan!

- To Pyeongsan!

Is that you, Eun-sim?

Who's this? Is it really Eun-sim?

It's her!

What have we here?

Where have you been?

Do you recognize us?

Attention. I'll introduce her

to those who don't know.

There was a Captain Goh

who was a benefactor

to our village.

He sold his land to us

at a cheap price

so we could make a living.

This is Eun-sim,

his only daughter!

So the rumor she's here is true.

At the beach

where the gentle waves...

What the hell are you doing here?

Why? It's her hometown.

Tae-h*, you got the facts wrong.

Captain Goh, my uncle,

did it because he lost his mind.

A normal person wouldn't sell off

their land

for one-tenth the price.

People said he went crazy

when his wife was dying

of a lung disease.

Why would a boat

suddenly flip over?

You prick.

You married into my family

and k*lled my son!

Bring him back!

Bring him back this instant!

Get out, now!

Damn you!

How's that Eun-sim's fault?

Let's talk about that.

How is the boat sinking

in a typhoon the captain's fault?

Is being generous to neighbors

to save his sick wife is crazy?

Yeah.

And you contributed

to Eun-sim taking off.

Eun-sim had a thing for you.

Father tried to put her

in a mental institution

because she was crazy

like her folks...

Maeng-hee, enough!

You should be ashamed,

as an elder of your church.

Get lost. Don't come

if you're going to start fights!

You know all that, right?

You saw how Eun-sim kissed

Geum-sun on the lips.

It's not true.

That never happened.

What's the matter with you?

I remember that rumor!

Why did Eun-sim take off

when she did nothing wrong?

You hear that?

Listen up!

Anyone talking

about the past can leave.

It ruins the mood.

Who are you to give orders?

Don't you know me?

Jeong Tae-h* of Seosang Brewery.

You don't get to drink

my makgeolli.

You're banned.

It's just a tiny brewery.

We can get drinks elsewhere!

No way. His stuff is the best.

Fine. I'll butt out.

Why are you making me a liar?

You keep going back and forth!

Oh, my God!

Jeez

Oh.

Ah.

Eun-sim used to sing well, right?

You said not to talk

about the old days.

I'll sing you a song.

No, no. You sit this one out.

I'm a good singer. I'll do it.

It's Eun-sim's welcoming song.

I'll do it.

If I sing, you have to sing too.

I shouldn't have fallen in love

Since the moment I met you

Heartache continues on and on

My love who left me heartbroken

My love who left me heartbroken

You took my youth and happiness

and left me heartbroken

After hurting a man

with messy hair

Can you leave with no regrets

Oh, traitor

Oh, traitor in love

Since when did you sing so well?

It's the first time

I heard you sing.

In the countryside,

you have a drink,

and then you sing.

So you bought a crate of soju?

You saw that?

That's a painkiller around here.

Drink makgeolli instead.

Tae-h*'s is good.

It takes too long to get drunk.

Wait. Are you promoting his booze?

Tae-h* aged quite gracefully.

He's one of the better ones.

And he raised his kid right...

Why?

You want to start something?

Goodness! Don't talk nonsense.

I must be right.

You're blushing and all. Oh, dear!

What are you saying?

It's just because of the alcohol.

Your accent's coming back

because you're embarrassed!

Look at that! Oh, my goodness.

That's funny.

Stop making fun of me.

- Thanks. Geum-sun.

- For what?

For speaking up.

Taking my side.

They're nothing. Didn't you see?

I have one drink,

and nobody messes with me.

Yeah. You're the toughest.

Stop that.

People will be yapping about this!

I hope someone does talk about it!

Then you'll be a star?

President Song Hae-woong.

Do you know me?

Who are you?

I'm Oh Han-seong

of the Yeonsinnae branch.

Mr. Oh!

Sir, I beg of you.

- What?

- I'm begging you.

Hold on a minute.

What is it?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Please terminate the contract

and give me a refund.

This is frustrating.

Sir, please save me.

Sales are down

because of the boycott

and the rent increased.

The interest on my loan is...

Just a minute.

I can terminate the contract

if that's what you want.

I'll even waive the penalty

for a franchisee

requesting termination.

But no refund.

You're the one asking

to terminate...

I'll sue you!

Sue me?

Sure! Get a lawyer

and do whatever you want!

I'll get the franchisees together

for a class action lawsuit!

Go ahead!

What's wrong with you people?

Let me live, damn it!

Let's have this first.

Eun-sim! Let's have a drink.

What's gotten into him?

What's he doing here so early?

I'm still hungover...

But makgeolli goes well

with pancakes.

Yes. You got it ready for me?

You're giving each other

the eye...

Are you jealous?

Don't be. Have a drink first.

No thanks! So early in the day?

Come on. Let's have a drink.

Jeez.

Look at these two.

You're getting it on.

I'm happy I saw someone

I never expected to see.

It's nice to be home, right?

I didn't know I'd be back here.

This is nice.

You're here?

Seong-pil.

Come and have some pancakes.

You're living it up, right, Mom?

What'd you say?

Don't talk like that to your mom.

Come have a drink.

No thanks. Enjoy your drink.

You show up out of the blue

to throw a fit?

You idiot.

Did you get hit by lightning?

I wish I could drop dead.

Not in front of your mother!

I'm going. Whatever.

Get back here!

Where are you going?

What's with him?

He wasn't always like that.

He used to be gentle.

What happened?

I don't know.

He's gotten worse.

I ask him what's wrong,

but he says nothing!

Pour me a drink.

The pancake's burnt!

We need to take out the fire!

Hey, it's Cheong-ja.

Hello? What happened to you?

What?

I know her. We're friends.

Yes.

Oh.

Why? Is it not her?

It's her.

She's in a nursing home in Busan.

The caregiver called for her.

A nursing home?

What does she have?

I don't know. Let's go see.

You wait here.

I'll give you a ride.

You can't drive drunk.

I'm fine. I haven't had a drop.

Let's go.

She got no calls for months,

but she kept showing us her phone.

I checked, and she really had

a call from you.

Why did you tie her up?

She hits and scratches the staff.

The shock of being abandoned...

Abandoned?

They left their mother here

and left the country?

Yes. But they pay the bills

through automatic payments.

Oh, dear.

How could they dump their parents?

Look. Can you untie her?

I loved your voice

when we were in the choir.

Mezzo soprano.

My hometown on the southern coast

I see the blue waters there

I can't forget, even in my dreams

The calm sea of my hometown

The waterfowl fly even now

How I wish to go there

I think she recognizes us.

Cheong-ja! You know who we are?

Cheong-ja!

Don't worry about a thing.

We'll come often.

We can join her here soon.

We can have fun talking

about the old days.

Let's do that.

My back's been hurting lately.

Don't!

Don't you dare do that.

Get sick or die at home!

You think people here

have fun talking?

Yeah. I know they work hard.

They're better than my own kids.

But this isn't home.

I'm breathing, but I'm not living.

Uncle. You look good. Go on in.

We don't want the resort!

(PYEONGSAN VILLAGE RESORDEVELOPMENT BRIEFING)

No resort! No resort!

- Louder!

- No resort! No resort!

No resort in the town

where I lived all my life!

No way! No way!

What are you doing here?

Go. Your mother will come soon.

Why are you doing this?

Take this off before she sees you!

Leave me alone!

- You prick, what are you doing?

- Why are you hitting me?

What the hell!

- Are you okay?

- Father!

- Father!

- Tae-h*!

Are you okay?

Is there something for his head?

What the hell's the matter

with you?

Why would you hit someone?

You're nothing but a thug.

What are we going to do?

Oh, my God.

Jeez.

Stay still.

The ambulance is coming.

- You called one, right?

- It's coming!

Yun-ju, I'll go by myself.

You stay and take care

of everyone.

How can I take care of others

when you're hurt?

Do as I say.

You're the Youth Group president.

This is nothing.

If it's okay with you,

I'll go with him.

Let's do that.

Please take good care of him.

I'll wrap things up here

and then pick him up.

What happened to you?

Why wouldn't you tell

your own mother?

I've lived like a sinner

all my life

after I gave birth to you

like that.

Will you live like this

even after I die?

Your kids look to you.

Remember that!

It's because I felt guilty.

You think I wanted

to sell your house?

I just wanted...

my family to live

in a high-rise apartment.

I guess it wasn't meant to be.

The brain tumor has grown a lot.

We can't really operate now...

The doctor said

you would have been

in a lot of pain.

I have my drink.

I'm Jeong Tae-h*

of Seosang Brewery, you know.

How can you laugh?

Eun-sim.

Let's keep this

between you and me.

If Geum-sun and Yun-ju find out,

my happiness is over.

Then why me of all people?

Because I'm lonely.

I just wanted at least one person

to know.

Then you appeared out of the blue.

My first love, Eun-sim.

That's fate!

Thanks for trusting me.

I resented you, you know.

When I was following you around,

I was waiting outside your house

to see you.

Then you threw a bucket of water

over the front gate!

- I did?

- Why'd you do that?

Did you hate me that much?

Oh, that was Geum-sun!

Geum-sun! Really?

Wow. I didn't know that,

so I thought

my first love was over.

I had a fever and everything.

I went up and down the hill

by the coast that night!

I got a cold

and was sick for ten days.

Then I went to school,

and you were gone.

I was caught up in my emotions.

And didn't know

the hardships you endured.

I'm sorry, Eun-sim.

You have such a good heart,

my friend.

Mom! Did you take

your bankbook and your stamp?

Why'd you take it?

I got a loan

on your insurance policy.

They transferred it

to your account,

so send it to me.

As soon as possible. Okay?

How did it go? Is he okay?

He's okay.

But what's wrong with your face?

Did something happen?

No, I'm just tired.

Go in and rest.

I'll check on Tae-h*.

I bought some beef.

He has to sleep a lot.

Let's go together tomorrow.

Sure. Let's go in.

Why don't you go in and rest?

Geum-sun!

What?

Did Seong-pil go to Busan?

He did.

He's such a fool.

I don't know

what's wrong with him.

He could have just talked.

He says he just wanted to live

in a high-rise apartment.

Of course he does.

They're everywhere.

Why are you looking at me

like that?

- Geum-sun.

- What?

Tae-h* is...

He's what?

He's happy you're his friend.

He thanks you for staying here

with him.

He must have really hurt his head.

My goodness.

Right?

I think he matured a bit late...

Dong-hwa.

You like Yun-ju, don't you?

No... How did you know?

It shows, you fool!

Is it okay for me to ask her out?

Go ask her yourself. Like a man!

Then I'll go help her!

Great.

Oh my... Tae-h*!

You came!

You okay?

Being sick is good.

You guys came to see me.

From the way you're talking,

you must be fine.

That I am.

This makes me look like a patient.

Don't do that. The doctor said...

Eun-sim, it's your first time

at my place, right?

Ever seen a tree like this

in a yard?

The bank was washed away

during Typhoon Sarah.

But the roots held on,

and our house survived.

It's a tree with deep roots.

That's right.

Our brewery is third generation,

but this tree is over

30 generations old.

My father's funeral was held here.

This is heritage. You know.

He boasts about that tree

even to people coming

to buy liquor.

I'm hungry! Give us food.

You are? Let's go then.

Look at that.

She gets like that

just by looking at the sea.

That's why I fell for her.

She's sentimental.

Are you crazy? Get up.

Give it away.

Give what you have.

Give it while you have it.

If she gives away everything,

how will she live?

Let's just live like this.

There's lots to do here.

You can work on someone's land

if you don't have any.

If you don't have a house,

I'll give you a room each.

Tae-h*,

are you trying to make sure

Eun-sim doesn't go back to Seoul?

You got me.

I wish I had something left

to give my kid.

Your house

and the brewery aren't enough?

That's why she can't leave here.

If I give her something worthy,

she could go live in the city.

She can't get married

and is stuck sniffing makgeolli.

She says she likes it.

Living here with her old man

and making booze.

She feels that way,

but as a parent, I don't.

Then sell the brewery

and your house to the resort.

How about that?

That's just it.

Money-wise,

I think now's the time to sell,

but losing this place

doesn't sit well with me.

It's like I'll be gone...

And all traces of my life too.

True. Money isn't everything

in this world.

You can't put a price

on the life you've lived.

Come on, let's have a toast!

Eun-sim is here!

And I hope we can live like this

until we die.

Having fun!

This is great

How much longer could we live

This is great

Oh, yes, this is great

Willows along the Nodeul bank

Have their branches stretched out

Maybe I could tie time's waist

Tightly to the branches

Oh, spring willows

Hey! Geum-sun!

What is it?

Yeah!

No, no.

I'm not shutting it down.

Just for you,

I will not collect payment

for interior decorating.

Of course. Yes! Really.

So please help me.

If the franchisees start

a class action lawsuit,

we all go down.

Thank you!

Have a great night. Thank you!

What a relief.

How much pepper do you have?

Peppers? I have a lot.

How much for all of it?

Just $10 for all of it.

- I'm feeling generous.

- What about the greens?

$10 for that too.

I'm feeling great today!

And dried radish for $10 too?

Can I have the whole sack?

Sure, why not?

Give her the whole sack.

Hello.

What? I'm really busy.

Geum-sun, what is it?

Oh, no...

Come on. Say something.

Tae-h* is...

What about Tae-h*?

He's dead.

A Paco Chicken franchisee

jumped to his death last night.

He had been depressed

since headquarters denied

his compensation request.

How dare you...

Don't bow.

It's all because of Seong-pil.

He hurt his head that day.

Keep your voice down.

They'll hear.

I want them to hear.

Tae-h* was healthy.

No way he would die overnight.

That's enough, Yeong-bae.

Did I say something

that wasn't true?

Seong-pil doesn't even say hello

to his elders these days.

I knew he'd cause trouble.

The doctor said he was fine.

It was just his time.

It's natural for our age.

Don't you know that we can die

in our sleep?

That's what happened.

Why are you so mean

when you've spent

all your lives here together?

Time for what?

Don't you know

what times we live in?

Poor Tae-h*.

Eun-sim, you drank

with him every day, right?

He's been drinking every day

since you got here.

It wasn't because of the drinking

or Seong-pil.

He had a CAT scan. The doctor...

Did anyone hear the doctor

say he was fine?

Only you heard it.

How can I trust you?

How do I know

you're not lying

to protect Geum-sun?

Hey! Mind your words.

Just go ask the doctor!

Stop it, Eun-sim...

Stop what? It's a wild accusation!

Wild accusation?

It's always your fault!

Your mom, dad, and your husband!

And now Tae-h*.

Anyone who gets close to you dies!

You don't know anything!

You crazy jerk!

Oh, no! My goodness!

Yes, I'm crazy, you fool.

Now you show

your true colors, right?

Yes, I've lived like this.

I've never lost a fight

in my life,

even when I worked at the market.

Are you going to hit me now?

Go on then! Hit me!

We'll die together! Hit me!

Don't bow!

You k*lled my husband!

You m*rder*r!

What did my husband do wrong...

Wait. I have something to say!

Leave. Trash like you don't

deserve to be here!

Get out!

Leave. Don't say a word.

See you in court

with our class action lawsuit.

It's no one's fault.

My father...

Had a brain tumor.

My father was dying,

and I didn't even know...

He was in pain alone,

right up to his last minute.

He must have been so lonely.

It must have been so difficult.

There is no end to lonely days

Tears pressed down deep

in my heart

(INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE

CONTRACT APPLICATION FORM)

(LIFE INSURANCE PAYOUT)

Ouch!

Damn. What the hell!

What?

Did you pray for your mother

to pass away?

How could you say that?

Why are you looking at this?

What's it to you?

We have 150 branches.

They're all suing me!

What if someone else dies?

Then my life is over!

So,

are you worried your life is over?

A person died!

He died because of you.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why's everyone blaming me? Damn!

You shouldn't have scammed them!

How can you make money

without scamming people at all?

How can I send you to Canada

by being honest?

It's because of me and Tae-eun?

If my life is over,

so is Tae-eun's and yours.

And my mom's.

I prayed for my mom to die.

What are you going to do about it?

You know what?

I'm not going to Canada.

When Tae-eun is done studying,

I'm divorcing you.

I'll go live in Namhae

with my mom.

And yours.

We'll have a good, long life.

So don't even think

about the insurance money.

Are you in pain? What's wrong?

Jeez.

What is it?

Is it because of Tae-h*?

Jeez. No, no.

My back is out again.

Your back?

Sorry. Just a minute.

Sure. Jeez...

What about your back?

No, no! Don't touch me.

My...

What shall I do?

Call an ambulance.

No. There are some diapers

in the closet.

- Go get me one.

- What?

For what?

What do you think?

Spread it quickly

and slide it under my back.

Lift up.

How did you live like this alone?

When I felt it coming,

I put on a diaper.

I couldn't tell today.

I think I pooped too.

It stinks. Oh, dear...

That's why you came to Seoul?

To say goodbye

while you could still move?

And then what?

Will Seong-pil take care of you?

Or Mi-hyeon,

who's going to Canada?

That's enough.

If I can't move, then it's time.

If I can't move but can breathe,

then someone will feed me.

I don't want that.

Especially not being able

to control my bowels.

You think I enjoy it?

Everyone's like that

when they're old and sick.

That's true.

But I don't want that...

You think you're special?

Are you just going to sit there?

Can't you smell it?

Can't be helped.

I have no strength.

I want to pee too...

Oh, dear me...

Thanks, Eun-sim...

I have a long way to go

to pay you back.

What debt?

When my husband died,

I woke up

after having taken sleeping pills.

You sat Hae-woong down right

in front of me.

Then you just took off.

I was pretty pissed.

You can't die like that.

Leaving Hae-woong behind.

I was so afraid.

I just wanted to sleep.

And never wake up.

I still remember the look

in your eyes.

I was ashamed.

So I couldn't call you first.

You sent Mi-hyeon to me.

Never imagined she'd fall

for Hae-woong.

I was shocked too.

Looking back,

you were always my guardian angel.

Thanks, Geum-sun.

You're making me blush.

I think...

I think everything was my fault.

My father.

My mother.

My husband.

And now Tae-h*.

Don't be like that...

You think you're the Grim Reaper?

Maybe I am.

What a joke.

An angel with a bad back

and a Grim Reaper

with Parkinson's.

What a joke.

No more spinal injections.

Her bones will all melt.

She won't be able to sit.

Then she has to suffer the pain

till she dies?

You need to rest too.

Lie down.

I will.

They can't operate, right?

My osteoporosis is bad.

I saw on TV

that they give you an injection

in another country.

What injection?

For a painless death.

Euthanasia?

It's not for everyone.

Only terminal cancer or something.

I really like that.

They do what you want.

You can't control life.

Oh...

But

for the end of my life,

I'll be the one to decide,

Eun-sim.

Once I can't move,

I have no choice.

That's what worries me more...

You didn't eat?

You said

I don't have what it takes

to be a businessman, right?

Should have told me earlier.

If you'd turned me down before,

I wouldn't have failed every time.

Or blew all your fortune away.

I felt guilty.

Because I considered

leaving you behind.

But you didn't.

So it's fine.

Hae-woong.

Your mom is old.

Everyone dies once.

Why are you saying that?

Why?

Why?

Mom.

Mi-hyeon wants a divorce.

I didn't know

how terrifying that was.

But the moment I heard that,

I realized why I tried so hard

to make money.

I wanted her respect.

And yours.

Hae-woong.

I believe in you.

Always have.

Always will.

Picnic

By Goh Eun-sim

(BANK)

Geum-sun, now I understand you.

I was already dead

before you came to see me.

I was in pain and sad,

but still smiled.

Don't do this. I can't take this.

Thanks to you and Tae-h*,

I felt like I was living again.

Like a poet said,

life is like a picnic.

I hope the end of my life

feels like a picnic too.

Geum-sun.

Now I understand

why you got dressed up

to say goodbye

to everyone.

Mi-hyeon?

Yes, your mom is fine.

Mi-hyeon.

I put my house up for sale.

When it's sold,

the money will be sent

to your account.

That's yours. You take care of it.

No, no. Don't come. Go to Canada.

Come later.

And Mi-hyeon.

Don't obsess over Tae-eun.

Live your own life.

Pack well.

A resort will be built.

It got approved.

Don't look at me like that.

I heard you sold your house.

Why not give it to Hae-woong?

Mi-hyeon will put it

to better use.

Hae-woong is still young.

What do you mean?

50 years old isn't young.

It is. Remember when we were

50 years old.

He needs to do something

on his own.

True. They're our kids after all.

They grew up watching us.

They'll find their place someday.

You and I are both homeless now.

Let's go on a picnic.

A picnic?

Let's go on a picnic

to Seonjae-am.

Let's do that.

I can't work the fields anymore,

so why not?

Let's clean everything

and take a bath.

And get ingredients for gimbap.

Gimbap sounds good.

All right. Get up then.

Why?

We'll have to go tomorrow.

Sure.

Let's go tomorrow.

Jeez.

I'm dying here... Jeez.

(SAUNA)

(PHOTO BOOTH)

Let's look dignified.

Ready?

It's done.

One click, and it's done!

There's more.

Maybe it's trying

to take our money.

No, no. There were four!

Stay still.

It took another picture.

Let's go.

Be careful.

Come this way.

Oh, my...

It's salty and good.

Chew slowly.

Or you'll get indigestion.

I'll chew slowly and surely.

I have lots of time.

We should have brought

some kimchi, right?

Ready? One, two.

One more.

One, two.

Eun-sim!

- Jeong Tae-h*.

- What?

Stop buzzing around and get lost.

You don't own this land.

Look at you.

Can you take our picture?

- Ready?

- Yes.

Here goes.

One, two...

- Geum-sun!

- What?

That was hard

but it's nice up here.

My hometown on the southern coast

I see the blue waters there

You did well.

You did more than enough.

What are you saying?

You think you didn't?

You did more than enough too.

You lived a good life.

Why? Are you afraid?

I think so. I'm shaking.

I made up my mind.

If I were born again,

I'd still be your friend.

Love you, Eun-sim.

Oh, my. You can still cry.

That's your charm.

You're sentimental.

And yours is...

A heart that's deeper

than anything.

Sure.

You tread along the sand,

leaving tiny footprints

Treading lightly

When the wind blows

Carried by the wind,

I shall follow

When the wave crashes

Flowing with the wave,

I shall follow

In my heart

Always leave

your footprints behind

As you breathe peacefully

May you take a rest by my side

When the wind blows

Carried by the wind,

I shall follow

When the wave crashes

Flowing with the wave,

I shall follow

Always leave
