Seoul, 1960. The autumn wind drags leaves as winter draws near. Jeon Jungkook, a 29-year-old aristocrat, adjusts his white suit before the mirror, his reflection stern and sculpted. The son of the most powerful family, with eccentric parents, he prepares for dinner at the Golden restobar. At the table, three rival families present their daughters. The young women, in extravagant gowns, approach him, their fingers brushing his shoulders and thighs with a palpable, desperate hunger. With practiced elegance, Jungkook rises, offers apologies to the assembled guests, and withdraws toward the bathroom.
