Plot

Ah-jung is a married woman in her mid-30s and has a five year-old son. She ghostwrites other people's biographies and at the moment, she is writing the biography of "an insurance sales queen." When Ah-jung's husband goes away on a business trip, she has no choice but to let her mother stay in their apartment. Ah-jung has problems dealing with her mother, a meddlesome woman who throws constant fits, probably the result of never having been loved by her husband. Mother also has a habit of putting mayonnaise in her hair to make it shinier. For Ah-jung, the memories of mayonnaise leave a bitter taste, as it brings back the ruthless vanity her mother had shown even at her father's deathbed. Life becomes more difficult for Ah-jung as the the lack of forgiveness she has towards her mother deepens. Then one day, Ah-jung finds her mother collapsed on the bathroom floor while trying to put mayonnaise in her hair, and she decides that she cannot extend her mother's stay. But after some time, Ah-jung realizes she resembles her mother after all.
