PLOT
In April 1950, as flowers bloom across the mountains, warmth fills a household in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, where nine women have gathered for Mrs. Kim’s 60th birthday. Three daughters, two daughters-in-law, an aunt, an elderly housekeeper, and Hongdaridaek—a woman she took in and raised—bring the house to life. Instead of a grand banquet, Mrs. Kim suggests a hwajeon-nori, a flower picnic making blossom-topped pancakes. That night, the women, who have endured hard lives, talk late into the evening, not pitying or judging each other but standing as pillars of strength for each other to lean on.
