Suk-jing recently welcomes a baby daughter into her ordinary life, which, to her surprise, will never be the same again. She is soon stressed-out taking care of the baby 24/7, while her husband never proactively takes part in it. Conflicts with in-laws, postpartum bodily changes, affected work performance are straws piling up on her back... After long nights of nursing in loneliness, where will the break of day lead her?

三十多歲的淑貞最近成為了一名媽媽，伴隨著寶貝女兒來到她身邊的，不只是幸福與喜悅，還有比想像要多的變化與壓力。儘管有一份全職的麵包師傅工作，淑貞仍被理所當然地視為女兒不分晝夜的主要照顧者，也因此是寶寶發育不良、哭鬧時問責的對象。丈夫從不主動參與育兒，即使同在卻如同缺席，過著與生育前大同小異的生活。同住的婆家因育兒方式及男女觀念時常與淑貞有衝突，但娘家卻似乎已沒有她的容身之處。永遠不足的睡眠以及產後的各種身體變化亦令她煩惱不堪，甚至影響到她極為重視的工作，成為母親的「副作用」仿佛滲透在生活的每一個層面。淑貞那麼努力想成為一個「好母親」，卻在過程中不知不覺地被蠶食得只剩空殼⋯⋯在一個又一個孤獨照顧孩子的深宵之後，等著淑貞的將是怎樣的日出？
