خلاصه داستان : پیش از پذیرش آئین کنفوسیانیسم مرسوم بود که والدین پس از رسیدن به سن 70 سالگی در بالای کوه به حال خود رها می شدند.

Prior to the adoption of Confucianism, it was the tradition to abandon one's parents on a mountainside if they were over 70 years of age. In the ancient kingdom of Goryeo, now modern Korea, a nobleman defies this tradition when he refuses to leave his mother to starve to death.
