Nima, an illegal alien from Mongolia does chores at a motel in Korea to send money to her home. One day, her first Korean colleague Jung-eun comes. Jung-eun started to make money in the hope of ending her life with a violent husband and take her daughter with her. The days with the blunt and indifferent girl Jung-eun pass by. Although belonging to a minority of society, they offer help to the other minority people they meet at the motel and lean on each other.
