Synopsis

Rod resigns from his job at a bank after receiving word that he is being reassigned to a faraway post. He conceals resignation from his wife Mia out of pride but convinces her to look for a job while he substitutes for her in household chores. While struggling in housework and caring for their children, Rod becomes friends with their new neighbor, Aida, an eccentric figure who gives him valuable life advice.

Mia later learns of Rod's resignation and argues with Rod at home, ending in Rod leaving. That same night, Aida, who is in a relationship with a married man, is confronted and humiliated at her home by his boyfriend's wife and daughter, leaving her to attempt suicide by overdosing on Vitamin C pills before being rescued by Mia. At the hospital, Mia chastises Aida for her relationship, but Aida pushes back by revealing Rod's struggles as a house husband.
