Baraam
Karma refers to the retribution of suffering in the present due to evil deeds committed in the past. A child who grew up in Baraam, where there was a firearm called 'Jeomrye', had two or three affairs with Mr. Jang, a boatman from Gwiraecheon, at the time of the signing of the pre-war agreement at the end of the Korean War. , Unable to control his burning passion, he suddenly leaves for a foreign country, and as if he had done the double-take of selling his body to American soldiers, he gave the brown-haired mixed-race boy to Buddhist monk Baraam Beopdam and left, leaving behind a message that he would definitely come back to find him.
