It was winter and she was still young when she lost her ability to speak for the first time. Without any indication, without a specific cause. What made her start speaking again was a word from another, foreign language, French. The same woman, who later divorced, lost custody of her child and lost her speech again, decides at some point to study ancient Greek. Then she meets a professor whose vision deteriorates day by day. He, having his own existential deadlocks rooted in the past, carefully observes the speechless and silent woman who attends the Academy, but at the same time, despite his sympathy, feels fear in front of her impenetrable silence.
And although they do not seek it, nor even hope for it, the worldly miracle takes place. Two wounded people manage, they manage together, they regain the desire to communicate and gradually come closer to each other. Han Kang, the most famous writer of present-day South Korea, uniquely narrates the special journey of two wounded souls towards the light.
