Read on for a synopsis and details of how to enter this competition...

Mija (veteran actress Yun Jung-hee) is a beautiful grandmother in her sixties who moves gracefully through life, contemplating a trivial daily routine that is ill-suited to her refined persona. With warmth, elegance and a dash of eccenticitiy, Mija takes care of her ungrateful grandson Wook (Lee David) and makes a living caring for an elderly man, paralyzed by a stroke.

On a whim, Mija enrolls in a poetry class and begins a personal quest to find the perfect words to describe her feelings. However, she's plagued by the onset of Alzheimer's disease and struggled with the challenges of the creative process. Her breakthrough comes when she discovers that Wook and five of his friends are implicated in the suicide of a classmate who has accused them of rape. Mija's word is turned upside down by the discovery of this monstrous crime and it is her unique and touching poetry that allows her to continue to embrace life.
