"The Return" unfolds in a unique tavern bearing the same mysterious name. Patrons are drawn to a peculiar framed message on its wall: "Drink makgeolli rice wine here and the one you miss will return."

Hope ignites as they begin to sip the traditional makgeolli, each person secretly wondering if a miracle awaits. The film delves into their individual journeys, exploring the fine line between desperate longing and genuine possibility. As the intoxicating rice wine flows, memories resurface, and the concept of 'return' takes on unexpected forms.
