Yoon-young has been secretly in love with Song-hyun, the wife of a friend. When Yoon-young finds out that Song-hyun is divorced, he decides to take her on a trip to Gunsan. There, they found accommodation at an inn where the owner lives with his autistic daughter who does not leave her room.
Screendaily's Wendy Ide said of Ode to the Goose: "It's a beguiling, if sometimes bewildering, enigma of a movie. Viewers will likely be intrigued by a formal playfulness and an agility of storytelling which evokes the work of Hong Sang-soo.[7]
