Synopsis

 

Eun-soo and Soo-hyang who are teenagers have no home, stealing the cellphones for living. One day they found the girl named Ha-dam beaten by a homeless person. They rescued her and ended up living together. Wandering on the streets, they were caught in a trap, which leads them to prostitute. But with the help of Tae-sung and Ba-wool, they were able to get out and again start to live in empty houses. Tae-sung and Soo-hyang start to like each other and Eun-soo rents a small house with Ba-wool’s help. It finally seems they are having normal life happily. However, things are not going as they wanted.

 

Director's Note

 

One summer night in 2013, I was hanging out around the downtown Seoul. A girl about the age of 17, was throwing empty beer bottles on the street. Drunken people surrounded her and shouted 'one more, one more’. One of them handed her his beer bottle and she threw it emotionless. After she finished the last bottle, she came up to me and looked into my eyes for a while. Then, she disappeared suddenly. The very image of that teenage girl has haunted me ever since. I started the journey to find her again only to meet three girls and two boys who resembled 'Wild Flowers', staying alive on the cold winter of Seoul.
