Description
After a sudden collapse at work, Jungmin—an exhausted TV broadcast writer—retreats into isolation, convinced she can’t feel anything anymore. In a sunlit neighborhood pottery studio, guided by a mysterious teacher and surrounded by kind students (and a comforting cat), she discovers the steady, sensory rhythm of clay—hands learning what her mind can’t yet say. As the seasons turn, Jungmin forms unexpected friendships and begins to rebuild her life piece by piece, exploring themes of burnout, renewal, and the quiet courage it takes to return to yourself. With its cozy, warmly observed atmosphere and gentle emotional arc, this English-language debut from Yeon Somin celebrates slow living, creative craft, and the healing power of community.
