Yeong-hye & her husband are ordinary people. He is an office worker with moderate ambitions & mild manners; she is an uninspired but dutiful wife. The acceptable flatline of their marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more `plant-like` existence, decides to become a vegetarian, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares.
