During the unexpected upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic, Seok-joo (SOHN Suhyun), struggling to make ends meet, takes on a part-time job editing online lecturers' mistakes. However, she cannot completely ignore the societal pressure of appearing "too feminist" if she edits "too correctly." While doing her job sufficiently, she stumbles upon the skillful paper-folding videos of Maeng-ji (SONG Ye-eun) and starts editing them. They quickly become close friends as they communicate well and work out together. In these times of crisis, when people had to adopt new ways of living to survive, their unintentionally exposed antics draw attention. Despite the absurdity, moments of joy and meaning still emerge in various relationships. The film turns the potentially clichéd narrative of societal disaster into a unique and individual story. The film serves as a light guide to friendship and relationships, illustrating how humans can survive amidst great despair and crisis.
