In the spring of 1999, a middle-aged man named Kim Yong-ho (played by Sol Kyung-gu), despairing of life, attends a class reunion in a disheveled state. He cries out nervously and shouts at an oncoming train from an overhead bridge: I want to go back! Three days earlier, Kim Yong-ho had already broken down and sought to end his life, but was called by a mysterious person to meet someone; then we go back to 1994, when he lived a dissolute life, cold as ice towards his wife (played by Kim Ji-yeon) and violently abusive; in 1987, as a police officer, he was ruthless; from 1984, 1980, back to 1978, it is not until the seventh segment, through his first love (played by Moon So-ri) and the symbolic “mint candy,” that the film reveals what crushed the protagonist's life and shattered his dreams.
