The Touch

Joohee is a painter and lives with her daughter Sujin in a studio out on its own. Her husband died and she is still not over it. She takes on a group project at a university, and one of the students in the group is Jinyoung, a friend of Sujin's. He uses the same perfume she does. Over the course of the project the two of them grow close and fall in love. She is his teacher and his friend's mother, and both of them know what that means. Sujin finds out and is shocked. It also comes out that Jinyoung's father was Joohee's first love. The families oppose the relationship and the people around them judge it. Joohee and Jinyoung separate and go on with their lives apart. Five years later they run into each other at an art exhibition, and the hurt and regret from before come back up.
