Seoli, a 34-year-old woman who lives in a remote rural home and feels the chill even in the middle of summer, borrows water from a neighbor’s house with her young son when the water cut off late at night.

Late at night on a rural summer day, after returning from work, Seoli (34 years old, female) takes her son Han (8 years old, male) to her husband’s friend Seonju (42 years old, female) to borrow water since water is cut off at Seoli’s house due to unannounced construction of the town’s water pipes. Unlike Han, Seoli is uncomfortable visiting unfamiliar neighbors. She is unable to bathe at Seonju’s place as she feels chilly even in the middle of summer. In contrast to Seori’s attempts to distance herself from her neighbors, Seonju shows interest in her. After talking to Seonju late at night, Seoli decides to stay the night at her place and sleeps with her in the main room. However, due to the chill, Seoli is unable to fall asleep and tosses and turns. Sneaking into the kitchen, Seoli pours water from the bathroom into a pot and heats it up on the stove. As she warms her hands in the hot water, Seoli is caught by Seonju and tells Seonju her secret…

The story started with the fundamental question of why others live their entire lives in their husband’s territory. At the same time, through the character of Seoli, who lives with a sense of strangeness, I wanted to portray a story of moving away from mistrust in relationships and living as ‘herself’ in solidarity.
