A janitor with a loving wife and a devoted son leads a seemingly quiet, orderly life. One day, the boy asks his father an inconspicuous but profound question: “Dad, why are there no photos of you at my age?” Driven by a restlessness that can no longer be suppressed, the man returns to the place of his childhood: a children's home he has avoided for decades.

When he learns that his ex-girlfriend has passed off one of his scripts as hers and made a film based on it that wins big at a renowned festival, the betrayed man travels after her to confront her.
