Hyeon-tae had been introduced earlier in the film as being a couple of years older than Min-woo and is on the verge of graduating from their university with a degree in Business.
Referring to himself as nothing more than trash, the young man turns to his closest friend, Hyeon-tae ( Ahn Seong-ki). Worse, when he goes home, he finds his house has been sold and his mother has moved away without leaving a forwarding address. After a short prison term, Min-woo is released to find that his father has passed away. This sends Min-woo on the run but he is soon found and arrested. Saving his father from an attack, Min-woo beats the stranger with the old man’s own cane. Unsettled, he goes to talk to his father about the situation but before he can get much information, he is interrupted by an elderly businessman who bursts into his father’s hospital room. There he learns that his mother committed suicide after his birth because she could not be with his father as he was already married. Laura runs a bar/brothel that caters to foreigners. Min-woo sets out to learn more about his birth mother and in the process meets his ‘aunt’ Kim Yeong-sook (Kim Yeong-ae) now known as Laura. Instead, he is the result of a tryst between his father and prostitute. It seems that the woman who Min-woo believed to be his mother was actually his step-mother. And his brother, on his way to a new life in the USA, hands Min-woo a note that that starts the latter on a downward spiral. His father is lying in the hospital at death’s door. For his entire life, Min-woo’s mother had hated him. But things are not always what they seem. He is from a good family, has many good friends, a bright future ahead of him and, on top of that, he just met the girl of his dreams in Dal-hae ( Lee Mi-sook). On the surface, medical student Min-woo (Kang Seok-woo) seems to have everything. Starring Ahn Seong-ki, Lee Mi-sook, Kang Seok-woo, Lee Hye-yeong and Kim Yeong-ae. Winter Wanderer (aka Wanderer in Winter)– Directed by Kwak Ji-kyun.
