In order to escape the rigid life as a professional athlete, butterfly swimmer Nadia, who is still in the prime of his career, decided to retire after the Olympic Games. After finishing the last game, she ushered in a night of self-doubt. No amount of glory, alcohol and companionship can answer her inner question: how can she find her own existence and identity in the world outside her sports career? The film uses highly infectious audio-visual language to blankly connect the tense atmosphere of the Olympic Games with the relaxation after the competition, showing the multifaceted life of the athletes. The protagonists in the film are also butterfly swimmers in reality, and their natural roles add luster to the film.
