The twin children who had been living with him had to move to their mother's house.

The purpose of this class is to find out everyone's potential and "advantages" that can make him succeed in his career. There, Ray meets Tanya (played by Jane Adams), an ordinary woman who should have become a poet, but missed her success because of the trick of fate. Ray suddenly had a feeling of "what do you want in life?"
