The story begins when Mrs. Phan, a 60s-year-old widow, whose life is bound within the kitchen's walls, walks in on a strip show of her granddaughter (Nhien, 18-year-old) in her room, to the camera, on a cam-site. Angry and ashamed, Mrs. Phan judges Nhien as equal to being a prostitute for doing the cam-modeling work. Nhien tries to convince her grandmother to believe that a woman has every right to her own body, including however she wants to exhibit it, by guiding Mrs. Phan through several intimate lessons. Each lesson peels a layer off her, finally letting her reconnect with the innermost desire for her own body. Soon, societal prejudice takes hold on Mrs. Phan and lets her taste the bitterness of her own medicine.
