The comforting tale of a magical laundry that blooms into existence one night, and how its enigmatic owner must learn to find her own peace before she can help others.
We're a mind laundry. We wash the stains from your heart.
When young Jieun accidentally misuses her powers, causing her entire family to vanish, she vows to keep living over a million lives in search of them.
One night, in the village of Marigold, flanked by the city and the sea, she brings the Marigold Mind Laundry into existence. Its service - to remove the darkest stain from anyone's heart. Jieun listens while unhappy memories transfer as stains onto a T-shirt. After a spin in the washing machine, the stains transform into red petals that soar in the air.
We meet five wounded souls: a frustrated young filmmaker; a spiralling social-media influencer; a mother who has discovered her husband's other family; a young woman two-timed by her lover; a talented photographer and victim of bullying, who escapes into a mundane job.
As Jieun helps each to move on, she learns how the will to heal is not a rare and extraordinary gift, but a power in us all, if only we are open to looking.
