Sang-hyeon, who has been living in the district of Jjokbang (a kind of flophouse) in Yeongdeungpo for 25 years, is working hard, keeping the dream of the day when he will live with his 8-year-old son he has separated from after divorce. He sees NGOs competitively that run their businesses to support people who live in the district only hinder people from developing their willingness to stand on their own feet, and he leaves the place. But as he fails to get a job elsewhere, he comes back and chooses to help the NGO's business.
