I brought my mother to help me during my postpartum period, but five years later she'd rather eat...
A Vietnamese mother traveled to South Korea to care for her daughter during her postpartum period, but ended up staying for five years, preferring to live in a cramped dormitory and eat instant noodles rather than return to her spacious home in Vietnam. The daughter went from bewilderment to breakdown to a final outburst, while her in-laws were filled with confusion and awkward tension.
Behind this, was it an unspeakable pain, or some other hidden reason?
Only when the daughter and her South Korean mother-in-law decided to accompany her back to her hometown in Vietnam did the deliberately avoided truth slowly unfold… It turned out the mother wasn't "clinging on," but rather "had nowhere else to go." This journey across borders was not only a direct confrontation with past wounds, but also a heartwarming healing story of understanding, sacrifice, and eventual reconciliation among three women.
