After retiring from his job as a school vice principal, Heo Seong, who now runs a factory, leads an ordinary life with his wife and three daughters. However, his wife, impulsive and prone to self-display, becomes increasingly ambitious about their daughters’ marriage prospects, and he is powerless to resist her. Their daughters are unable to oppose her either, and meekly do their mother’s bidding. Heo Seong can only watch as the simple life he has cherished crumbles before his wife’s material desires, and his family slowly falls apart.
