Manok, a lesbian bar owner in Seoul, finds herself at odds with the city’s younger queer community, sparking a retreat to her quiet rural hometown. But small-town life proves anything but peaceful when she discovers her ex-husband—bitter, petty, and as stubborn as ever—is now the mayor. What starts as an escape quickly turns into a political showdown as Manok challenges him for leadership, trading rainbow lights for campaign rallies and rekindling old tensions along the way. With a cast of quirky townspeople, unexpected allies, and a chance to redefine what home really means, this heartwarming comedy proves that reinvention—and revenge—are never out of reach.
