The narrative revolves around Bok-ja (Kim Hae-sook), a mother who embarks on a unique vacation from Heaven. After three years since her passing, Bok-ja is granted three days as a spirit on Earth to watch over her accomplished daughter, Jin-joo (Shin), a professor at a prestigious U.S. college. Unbeknownst to Bok-ja, Jin-joo has returned to their former home. As a spirit, Bok-ja faces challenges in connecting with her daughter, discovering new aspects of Jin-joo's life over the course of the three days.

During a press conference for the film, Shin expressed her admiration for the portrayal of the universal emotion in mother-daughter relationships. She emphasized the film's ability to evoke sentiments about lost loved ones, describing it as a heartwarming depiction of the mother-daughter bond.

In the film, Jin-joo takes over the restaurant once run by Bok-ja, leading a peaceful life in a suburban town. Shin Min-a, though not particularly fond of cooking, shared her newfound interest in the culinary arts. The actress expressed a desire to learn cooking from her mother, inspired by the film's exploration of the significance of preparing a simple meal for loved ones.
