Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Three generations of women, each with their own unique quirks, slowly begin to understand the true meaning of family when a handsome stranger appears to cast a romantic spell over the woman who never thought she would love again. Nam-hee sells fruit on the street to support herself, her Alzheimer's stricken mother who is slowly regressing into childhood, and her precocious young daughter who longs to become a television anchorwoman. When mysterious stranger Joon appears before the three women as if he stepped out of a dream, Nam-hee's heart starts to flutter for the first time since she was a love-stuck teen. At first this new development is difficult for her young daughter to accept, though it doesn't take long for the little girl to realize that Nam-hee is not only a mother, but a woman as well. As the romance between Joon and Nam-hee gets underway, it gradually becomes apparent to all three women that he is truly a messenger of love .
