During a pitch meeting with boorish film company executives, documentarian Zoe Stevenson proposes an intimate portrait of her next-door neighbour Kaz Khan, who has agreed to an arranged marriage overseen by his parents. The project, dubbed Love Contractually, is hastily greenlit and Zoe and her camera wilfully intrude on Kaz’s day-to-day existence as he meets with Mo the Matchmaker and is eventually paired via Zoom with softly spoken law student Maymouna, who lives in Pakistan.

When mother Moon So-young unexpectedly returns for her baby and threatens to expose Dong-soo and Sang-hyun’s scam, they agree to bring her on the journey to find new parents for her child.
