OVERVIEW
Waiting for Appa traces the pain and confusion of Eunhae, who continues to clutch to her dead father's memory like the ashes she refuses to toss into the sea during his memorial. She withdraws from everyone who seeks to love her, and as she grows to womanhood, her confusion over her feelings and the actions of her relatives deepens. When she goes back to her ancestral home in search of answers, her journey uncovers far more than she expected.
