"Kau bilang ini ibuku?"
Im Yeong-gyu buta sejak lahir, tetapi ia telah bangkit menjadi seorang perajin ulung yang mengukir prangko-prangko terindah di dunia dengan tangan. Suatu hari, ia dan putranya, Dong-hwan, menerima telepon tak terduga dari polisi. Kerangka Jung Young-hee—istri Yeong-gyu dan ibu Dong-hwan, yang hilang 40 tahun lalu—telah ditemukan. Polisi menduga ia mungkin telah dibunuh. Terkejut dan penasaran dengan ibu yang tak pernah dikenalnya, Dong-hwan mulai menelusuri kebenaran di balik kematiannya bersama Kim Su-jin, seorang produser dokumenter yang telah merekam kisah hidup ayahnya. Saat mereka mengikuti petunjuk-petunjuk tersebut, mereka bertemu dengan orang-orang yang pernah bekerja dengan ibunya di sebuah pabrik garmen empat dekade lalu—orang-orang yang ingatannya yang telah lama terkubur mulai mengungkap kebenaran yang tersembunyi…
“Are you saying this is my mother?”
Im Yeong-gyu has been blind since birth, but he has risen to become a master artisan who hand-engraves the most beautiful stamps in the world. One day, he and his son Dong-hwan receive an unexpected call from the police. The skeletal remains of Jung Young-hee—Yeong-gyu’s wife and Dong-hwan’s mother, who went missing 40 years ago—have been discovered. The police suggest the possibility that she may have been murdered. Shocked and curious about the mother he never knew, Dong-hwan begins tracing the truth behind her death with Kim Su-jin, a documentary producer who had been filming his father’s life story. As they follow the clues, they encounter people who once worked with his mother at a garment factory four decades ago—people whose long-buried memories begin to reveal a hidden truth…
