The past and present of the country are intertwined in the destinies of the heroes - a young girl taking the first timid steps in theater directing, and a successful businessman who has lived a difficult life. A whole generation is behind him. People from the slums who made their way to the very top and achieved everything you can only dream of, simultaneously forgetting how to feel. Trying to escape from poverty, to forget about their own miserable childhood, they joined in a mad race, sooner or later ceasing to understand why and where they are running and for what they are going over other people's heads. For the happiness of your children? Do their children need such happiness? And what is the happiness of the new generation? Do the young find the meaning that their fathers have lost? About all this and not only in the book At sunset (Hwang Sogen)
