The mother, who served as a street vendor at the Busan International Market for a long time on behalf of her husband, who lacked economic power, fed, dressed, and studied six siblings. Will it be heartbreaking to have three of your sons in front of you, not to mention your husband, while you have lived to be 100 years old. Still, he served as a pillar for the remaining children and grandchildren with his wide and straight character without much expression.
However, such a mother collapsed from a cerebral infarction four years ago. Fortunately, there are no major side effects because they did not miss the golden time, but meeting the disease at such an old age made it difficult to move outside due to lack of energy. Jae-sook, the daughter who always felt sorry for that. Jae-sook decided to rent a camper van with her mother instead of a party for her mother, who said she could not have a 100th birthday party in front of her husband's children.
A trip to meet people who have always missed and wondered how they live while enjoying this beautiful spring away from their stuffy bed. Following the flowers, a human theater accompanies a life trip with a 100-year-old mother.

Seventy-four years old this year is a considerable age, but Jae-sook's body measures more than anyone else. There is no time to sit with your buttocks attached because you are running to your mother, who calls you frequently. It's already been 12 years since my younger brother left the world with cancer. When a nursing care worker comes to take care of his mother for a while in the morning, Jae-sook rush to work.
Jaesook, the second and oldest daughter of six siblings, grew up early. He attended the prestigious Busan Girls' Middle School as a three-year scholarship student, but he went to Yeo Sang to study for his younger siblings and jumped on the front line after graduating from high school. After 33 years as an insurance planner and retiring, he opened a real estate near his house with a certificate of a real estate agent. Jae-sook always started studying at university and even wore a hat at the age of 70, saying she would solve her lingering hardships. Even now, I am studying nonstop while listening to AI lectures to keep up with the changing world. Jaesook, who is smart, diligent, and has a strong sense of life, looks just like her mother.

Born in a village deep enough to escape the war in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do, her mother, who went to elementary school during the Japanese colonial period, had an unusual head and a bright sense since she was young. Jae-sook's father, who married her husband at 16, had poor economic power, so her mother moved to Busan to feed and study her six siblings. He opened a stand on one side of the international market and kept his children healthy with the money he earned on the street, whether it was raining or snowing. In the meantime, if he needed help from house to house, there was no place where his mother didn't reach out, and if he couldn't afford it, he had to cook side dishes to make it feel cool. She was a mother who couldn't do anything for her children.
Three of your sons have turned their backs on the world before you. The eldest son suffered a stroke, and the third and youngest son left his mother's side due to cancer. Knowing her mother's time, Jae-sook feels more sorry and sorry for her mother, who is currently confined to her home.
# Celebrating the 100th anniversary of mother and daughter's tour of the Paldo Island
On the occasion of my mother's 100th birthday, I planned a wonderful feast at first. However, I was sorry for the mother's torch that a person who was ahead of her husband's children was having a feast with shame, but I gave up my heart. Instead, I came up with a 100-year-old commemorative trip. In this beautiful spring, we decided to go on a cruise in a camper van, enjoy flowers, and look at how family members scattered across the country are living. Cho Dong-hyun (50), Jae-sook's eldest son and mother's eldest grandchild, joined as a camper driver and helper, and somehow became a trip with three generations. Tongyeong's fifth daughter, the fourth son who lives in Jincheon, Miryang's hometown village and Seonsan, Bongandang, where the son who went first, and the international market where he did business for a long time... This trip has become an epic that looks back on her mother's hundred-year-old life. Let's follow the warm journey of a 100-year-old mother and 74-year-old daughter who left along the path of flowers.
