The movie opens on a river scene with children playing on the bank. The body of a girl in a school uniform floats by.

Plot Summary

Yang Mi-ja (Yoon Jeong-hee), a 66-year-old grandmother, consults a doctor at a hospital who is concerned about her forgetfulness, and referring her to a specialist. As she leaves the hospital she sees a woman crazy with grief because her 16-year-old daughter has drowned.

Though Mi-ja lives on government welfare, she has a small job taking care of a well-to-do elderly man who has had a stroke. At home, she cares for her ill-mannered 16-year-old grandson, Jong-wook (Lee David), whose divorced mother lives in Busan. When Mi-ja asks Jong-wook about the girl from his class who drowned, Jong-wook insists that he doesn’t know her.

When Mi-ja notices a poster advertising a poetry class at a local community center, she decides to enroll. The course assignment is to write one poem by the end of the month-long course. At the suggestion of her teacher, she begins writing notes about the things she sees, especially flowers.

Development and Complications

Jong-wook frequently leaves home at odd hours to socialize with five other boys from school. One night, he invites all of them over without notifying Mi-ja, who nevertheless tries to be a gracious host, offering them a snack before they disappear into Jong-wook’s bedroom.

Later, one of the boys’ fathers insists that Mi-ja join him and the other boys’ fathers for a meeting. She is told that the group of boys have repeatedly raped a girl, Agnes, over the past six months, before she jumped off a bridge into a river and drowned.

Mi-ja attends a local poetry reading and encounters a policeman with a good heart who exposes corruption within the police force.

Resolution and Conclusion

After facing various challenges, Mi-ja is elected to persuade Agnes’ mother to accept a settlement. Eventually, the settlement is paid, and Mi-ja’s daughter is called home.

The film concludes with Mi-ja’s poem, “Agnes’s Song”, being read to the class, leaving an ambiguous note on Mi-ja’s fate.
