Soyul's turn for a transplant never comes, and her mother, Eunsu, is ruled out as a donor. With nothing left to give, Eunsu is offered something else by the doctor: a poetry therapy group. As the other parents read their poems aloud one by one, Eunsu's notebook stays blank.

Seunghyun Lee was born in Gwangju, South Korea. A Poem Written in Summer is Seunghyun Lee’s third film. The earlier short The Tardy was screened in the Gwangju New Films section of the 12th Gwangju Independent Film Festival and won the Special Jury Award in the Youth section of the 7th Chungju Short Film Festival.
