Synopsis
Myung-sook, a visiting maid, comes to work at someone's house as always. In a way, she has her own schedule for the day since she is a veteran of such business.
The most important thing to do for the day is definitely watching television show, but she doesn't just watch. This house is her workplace, but at the same time, someone's private place. In this place, she dreams of a true deviation from her real life.

Director's Note
When I open my private place to a stranger, it means I trust the person and also expect the place to be maintained as it is. A visiting maid coming to work alone in my empty house. A total stranger. What would she think and dream of in my private place? Such curiosity motivated myself to create this story. Would nothing be happening in deed?
