Hyunho and Junghee are in their 20s and have been married for two years. Dreaming of becoming an actor, Hyunho quits his job and begins going to acting auditions. Junghee can’t find a job because of the fact that she’s married. On a cold winter day, the contract for their unheated single-room flat expires and the two start looking for a new home. They come across a couple of similar age living in a spacious, luxurious house. They fall into despair. Pushed by a sheer desire to earn money, Hyunho goes back to work but keeps it a secret from Junghee, who still supports his dream. Second Winter is the story of a young couple who give up on their dreams after coming face-to-face with the harshness of reality. The warm living room of the wealthy couple appears as a mirror image of this reality. It is an image that leaves a strong impression and symbolizes the contrast between the rich and the poor, reality and the ideal, and the past and present. It also questions whether or not one can be happy in a world outside of one’s dreams.
