A lot of widows live in the seaside village because many men met wild storms in the ocean and never returned. Widows in the village are dependent on one another as they work and live in the village. Haesoon (Ko Eun-ah) is newly married and her husband also leaves for fishing. He meets a strong wind on the water and eventually dies and Haesoon also becomes a widow. Sangsu (Shin Young-kyun) follows young and beautiful Haesoon around and eventually gets to spend a night with her. He begins to spread the word about him having slept with Haesoon around the village and Haesoon's mother-in-law (Hwang Jung-soon) and sister-in-law (Lee Nak-hoon) help Haesoon and Sangsoon leave the village. Haesoon and Sangsoo wander around the country and work at quarries and live in the mountains. However, Haesoon's beauty attracts men and Sangsoo's obsession with her worsens. Once, a hunter had his eyes on Haesoon and Sangsoo killed him. Haesoon is shocked from the incident and loses consciousness. Sangsoo tries to leave the mountain to get medicine for Haesoon but falls off a cliff and dies. In the end, Haesoon returns to the seaside village to be with her fellow widows in the village and her mother-in-law welcomes her back.
