Plot
In Yongin, South Korea, Ae-soon is a mother of the intellectually-disabled In-gyu. Both live in a small apartment and have a happy life, however In-gyu's traits often mildly inflame Ae-soon. One day, after noticing her uncontrollable trembling hands, and bouts of headaches, Ae-soon went for a health check up, and discovered she had cancer, and only had months left to live. Later, she decided to take the lives of herself and her own son through carbon monoxide poisoning by lighting coal indoors in their sleep, but was stopped midway when In-gyu suddenly woke up, and asked to eat fried eggs tomorrow morning. Ae-soon decided not to take her son's life, and would prepare him for a future without her.Cast
