An old man with a limp, Khimhok, has depended on his wife over the years, but his wife suddenly passes away one day. Reluctantly, Khimhok puts her remains into an old freezer for preservation. He keeps his wife’s death a secret and starts a dishwashing job to save money for her burial. However, rainfall causes the freezer to break down, and her body begins to rot. When their long-estranged son suddenly appears to face his mother’s corpse, long-held feelings of resentment are triggered. The sudden death is a wake-up call for the broken family to look at the issues that they have long avoided.

跛腳的老男人欽福一直依賴妻子照顧,與離婚的同志兒子長期疏離。然而一天妻子驟逝,不捨的他決定把妻子放進舊冰櫃裡保存,他守著妻子已死的祕密,開始到小吃店洗碗想掙錢為她下葬,但一場暴雨打壞了冰櫃,她的屍體開始腐爛⋯⋯當離家多年的兒子突然出現,面對母親的遺體與兩人積累的心結,父子間的壓抑與衝突一觸即發。一場突如其來的死亡,打破一家人看似平靜的生活,迫使他們開始正視逃避已久的生命課題。
