Doo-chil, a 46 Year old small poultry farm owner, is the head of the family, yet with no authority rather intimidated by aggressive wife, mother-in-law, and three daughters. One day, Doo-chil makes delivery of chickens to a slaughter house and meets Ok-ja who works there as an accountant. Ok-ja prostitutes at night at motels and barbershops to support her family and pay for her brother's education. Doo-chil goes out for a drink with Duk-bae, the egg seller, who tries to persuade Doo-chil into marrying his daughter and later they end up at a high class barbershop where he runs into Ok-ja. He is disappointed, but since then, feeling compassion toward her, he approaches Ok-ja. Ok-ja's mind also gradually slants toward him, moved by his honesty and sincerity. One day, upon arrival at a beach about dawn, two of them witness the dazzling sunrise over the horizon and realize the beginning of their passionate relationship.
