Paul is a successful cartoonist, but he is going through a period of frustration in his life.
More than a decade ago, Paul and his wife Lucy bought this house with a garden. It used to be a place for family gatherings and carried the best memories of the family. But now, Paul lives alone in the empty house.
The departure of his wife, the rebellion of his daughter and her departure from the nest, and the resistance of his mother to treatment forced him to be ready to face grief, change and separation at any time. The pain in his shoulders, the gradual loss of his teeth and the fatal sleep apnea also tortured him. He didn't know how to face this lonely and aging life.
The happiness of the past has quietly passed away. How can he get through this difficult time? Paul keeps looking for answers in confusion...
