Chun-Guil, who can not use arms or legs, has taught himself to become a poet. However, he failed to express his feelings to his first crush. He also fails to meet his online date due to her family’s objections.
Feeling desperate and knowing his death is imminent, Chun-Guil confesses to the priest that he wants to feel a sexual pleasure in his life time. As the priest contemplates Chun-Guil’s confession, Ye-Ri, a young film student, comes to the light. Ye-Ri, who’ve made a short film about red light districtprostitutes, wants to create a film about “sex volunteering” based on her own story…
