★Avg. rating

A day remembered differently by Seong-eun and Min-hyung, a couple on the verge of breaking up, unfold in three acts to bright, lively music. One day, they decide to make pasta together one last time before breaking up, and as tomatoes get mixed together with goldfish, Seong-eun and Min-hyeong’s memories begin to diverge. A unique and offbeat breakup story, told from the points of view of Seong-eun, Min-hyung, and a tomato.
