Bok-soon, a Jeju Island native, lives alone in her old house, as all her grown-up children are now settled on the mainland. She is excited to know that her children, who have not come home for a while, are coming back for her birthday. She prepares food for their visit but ends up receiving calls, informing her that they are unable to come. The next day, Bok-soon feels pain on her knees and visits an orthopedic clinic where she meets Dong-i. Dong-i tells her of the yoga center opened by Dong-i’s mother. Bok-soon visits the yoga center thinking she could share the left-over food with people there. Neighbors who have not seen her in a long time welcome her, and Young-sook, whom she had loved like her niece, is now the yoga teacher, giving Bok-soon a one-day class. Without realizing, Bok-soon starts to move her aching body to follow the yoga moves.
