A solitary young poet finds solace in wandering the city streets at dusk, gazing at the houses and the lives of passersby. One evening, he saves a young woman from suicide. Drawn together by this chance encounter, the two get to know each other and share their life stories with heartfelt sincerity. For the past year, she has been waiting for her lover, who has promised to marry her. Despite this, the poet falls in love with her. However, fate has different plans.
