* Often in the matters of the heart, the one who can see, can’t; yet the one who can’t, can.
* Finally, lonely Beth has a surprise birthday gift from someone she has been seeing for a long time.
* For a long time, Beth has failed to find love from both her husband and daughter. When she is just about to give up, she discovers that she does not need to look any further. She is already being loved by someone she has been seeing for a long time.
* Beth, a lonely housewife, thinks having her birthday will bring her closer to her family, but she is wrong. She is still unimportant in their eyes. To her surprise, later that very same day, she finds out that she has already been very important in someone else’s eyes. It has always been there waiting for her to discover.

SYNOPSIS
When we see an abandoned mother spending time all day in the park by herself, we feel sorry for her, that is, until we hear from her daughter who has been watching her closely. If only the mother could hear her daughter’s words or if only they could talk to one another, perhaps things would have turned out differently.
