"Something to Do before Dying" chronicles the humdrum life of Su-yeon, a typical 20-something Seoulite who hates her job and her life, deciding one day to throw it all away by committing suicide. Over the course of a single day, we follow her as she prepares herself. This low-budget indie was shot on video, giving it a home movie-like quality that enhances the reality of what transpires on the screen.

Three years after the death of her beloved child, Elouise, Mara still feels her presence when she sits on the butterfly bedding in front of the jar with her ashes in it. Mara arranges a twelfth birthday party for Elouise, further alienating her from her husband, Richter, and remaining daughter, Hannah. Although Mara eventually vacates Elouise's room at the insistence of her husband, she does find a way to stay close to Elouise. Before long, however, Hannah discovers her mother's secret.
