From work to relationships to school, nothing is going smoothly in young Hye-won's life in the big city. Putting unresolved matters behind her, she dips and impulsively returns to her hometown. There, she reunites with her childhood friends Jae-ha and Eun-sook, who go about rural living in their own unusual ways. Finding herself at a crossroads, Hye-won looks to reconnect with her past simple life while forging meaningful connections to the geographies and people around her.
