A wife yearns for a new life. She tries to move to a new place and break up with her lover. High school students are numbly arranged in the schoolyard, while a young teacher is trying to change the traditional education system. At a remote bus stop, people wait all day for a bus that will never stop there. The owner of a barbershop forces the barbers to go to the streets to attract customers.
