Do you know how lonely it is to live without words?

There is a ceremonial table in front of the ritual folding screen.

Mr. Whang looks at the picture of his deceased wife on the table.

He is the elderly living alone who has suffered from diseases, poverty and loneliness. Once he was carpenter, but currently he picks up scrap paper to sell for a living. He is really eager to earn money. Then, why? He builds a coffin with wood scraps from the street, digs a grave, and prepares goods for ancestral rites and food for a funeral. Then, he gets into the coffin and commits suicide by drinking agricultural pesticides.
