Synopsis
20-year-old Hee-chul lives with his grandmother in a small room and doesn't have any particular dreams or hopes in life. He didn't go to college like many others his age, and instead, works part-time at a snack bar. One day, he appears as a main actor in an independent film, which is produced by college students Yun-ju and Sang-woo. Since then, some of his friends leave him and some troubles emerge, which change his point of view little by little.
He gets to experience a whole new world. This movie shows the growing pains not only of Hee-chul but of everyone else in their twenties.
Director's Note
This film expresses my affection for the kids that I have taught. I hope that audience can find human beings in my film. I also hope that kids who were submissive to the given conditions can become adults suddenly, like a metamorphosing butterfly - because they just got older, or maybe because there was a certain occasion. Watching the process, I, my audience, and those in my film might feel gratified
