Hot summer days are passing by. Postgraduate student, Gyeong-ju, will not be able to get the degree when the semester ends. Consequently, she might be fired from her part-time job which requires her to graduate. For Gyeong-ju, who shoots only character-based, non-mainstream films with slow rhythm, the professor and the people around her suggest shooting a popular, commercial, mainstream film. However, she finds it difficult to write such a story. In the meantime, Gyeong-ju gets to read a scenario of her student, Ye-Bin, at her request. It is a scenario that suits the criteria of popular, mainstream films, and Gyeong-ju feels tempted.

The lives of Franklin and Jefferson are used as prisms through which to evoke colonial America.

Benjamin Franklin, standing for the best in colonial wisdom, and Thomas Jefferson, representing the opportunities and ambitions of a new nation, together offer a compelling approach to this richly textured area.
