In My End Is My Beginning originally appeared as a short film in Five Senses of Eros, a 2009 anthology about sensuality and sexuality.

[3][4] The title is a quotation from the T. S. Eliot poem East Coker, which is taken in turn from "En ma Fin gît mon Commencement", the saying Mary, Queen of Scots, embroidered on her cloth of estate whilst in prison in England.

[5] Jung-ha (Uhm Jung-hwa) is left alone and heartbroken after her husband Jae-in (Hwang Jung-min) dies in a car accident.

As a novelist, Jae-in had been looking for new stimulation to rouse him from his boring routine, and the secrecy and risk of his affair with Na-ru inspired his work.

The strange co-habitation arrangement between Jung-ha and Na-ru and its complicated web of love, hate, lust, and guilt, develops into a lesbian relationship, leading to a new way of life.
