The old woman lost her son in the army. Every day she goes from home to the temple. Forty-nine days in a row. For the peace of her son’s soul. She will always have thought that her son was going to pray 49 days before her in the temple, but now she is responsible for his peace in the afterlife. A great responsibility, because according to her Buddhist views, the success of his reincarnation is dependent on this ritual. A serious task that is also taken very seriously in silence throughout the film.
