32-year old Kim Mun-hi has an affair with Suh Hyun, who is only 19. According to Korean law, sexual contact between adults and youths is illegal -- and, in Korea, one does not come of age until twenty. Mun-hi is arrested, accused of having sexual intercourse with a minor, and sentenced to community service.

Hyun is waiting for her when she leaves prison and takes her away from the scandal-craving journalists. In a few days he will turn 20 and reach the age of consent. The two abscond to a hotel for several sessions of nicely lit, imaginative sex. After that, Mun-hi tries to leave Hyun , but he pursues her to her friend’s house where they settle in to tentatively flesh out a relationship.
