A young woman and her mother run away to the seaside town of Mohang to escape their mounting debt. The young woman begins writing a script for a short film in order to calm her nerves: There are three women named Anne, and each woman consecutively visits the seaside town of Mohang. A young woman tends to the small hotel by the Mohang foreshore owned by her parents. A certain lifeguard can be seen restlessly wandering up and down the beach that lies nearby. Each Anne stays at this small hotel, receives some assistance from the owner's daughter, and ventures onto the beach where they meet the lifeguard.

A quiet, salt-crusted melancholy settles over this seaside retreat where debt and desperation meet the rhythmic pull of the tide. Through a layered script within a script, the film captures the fragile stillness of women seeking refuge in a coastal town.
