Ji-young is a writer and has no time for house chores. Two women offer to clean her house when it turns into a mess. One is her mother, and the other is a lonely ghost named Mu-myoung who has been dwelling in Ji-young's home for a long time. Ji-young decides to write a story about these two women.
Which is more scary? A mom nagging you at 4 am vs. a ghost cleaning your room during the day. Unexpectedly, Ji-young chooses herself, who is becoming more like her father, who gets accustomed to service. To avoid being a scary person by herself, Ji-young decides to remember that writing and labor (service) can express ¡°myself¡± but is based on someone else¡¯s sacrifice. The film depicts a desire to live as ¡°you are you, I am I¡± in a world where we are not afraid of each other, and crosses horror, fantasy, and drama. [HONG Eunhwa]
