Overview

Quitting her job and being pregnant - that's the sum of what we know about Eunju. Seemingly without much desire or expectation, Eunju heads to the countryside at the suggestion of Changho, who proposes a month of seasonal farm work. She tidies up rice straw left over from threshing, tends to cattle, sits down to eat with rough-hewn men of the countryside, and exchanges brief, trivial, awkward conversations.

A pregnant woman adrift in her life takes refuge in rural seasonal work, where monotonous physical labor and sparse human contact become a form of quiet reckoning. The film moves at the pace of straw and soil, finding strange solace in routine and silence.
