Description:

An 85-year-old woman, fiercely independent and living with her dog, faces a life-altering event when an accident leads her son to hire caregiver Mi Seon. Initially hostile towards the intrusion, the woman struggles with her son's protective CCTVs and unexplainable disappearances around the house. Despite her initial resistance, a profound, mother-daughter bond unexpectedly blossoms between her and Mi Seon, transcending their roles. This newfound connection is dramatically tested during a family holiday visit. Tensions long buried erupt when the son's family discovers Mi Seon wearing a precious gift from the daughter-in-law, igniting a heated conflict. The film explores the intricate dynamics of family, the complexities of care, and the blurred lines between strangers and loved ones, culminating in a poignant reflection on what it truly means to "Take Care of My Mom."
