Baixing Temple is a monastery where Korean nuns (female monks) retreat for meditation, opening its doors to the public only twice a year. Monk Minjai says, "We are also living in the 21st century." Monk Seonwoo expressed her hope to choose a different life in her next incarnation. She was abandoned at the temple as a child, and karma led her to join the Buddhist order. Seongsook, who studied abroad, visited a meditation center by chance and decided to become a nun. Director Myeongyun, the abbot, says she still cannot see the end of her path of practice. Each person who chooses to become a nun has their own reasons. The director spent four seasons with the nuns, closely revealing their secluded lives and beliefs.
