The film tells the story of Gye-na, a woman in her late 20s, who one day suddenly leaves her job, family, and boyfriend behind and heads to New Zealand alone in search of her own happiness.

Produced by Mocushura in association with Cinematic Moment, Indiestory and Sidus, the film is distributed by NK Contents in South Korea.

Marshall found the soundtrack of the film "Muzak" and character of Joo Jong-hyuk "zany".

Concluding he wrote that "the film’s strongest card is the nascent feminist perspective of a young woman who wants to make her own mistakes – not the ones that [people in her life] impose upon her.
