| Nine year-old Jin-soo wants to be a boxing referee and doubts who his real father is. He is sure that his 'boxing blood' came from his genuine father, one of three boxers from his mother's past. Although Jin-soo knows the truth he decides not to reveal it, and to leave his life the way it is now. |

| Through the wild imagination of an 8 year old boy, I wanted to reveal the audience's flow of thinking. If the audience could be persuaded by the boy's imagination, which his father is not his real father and his mother might have had an affair with other man, it may prove that we are living in an unhealthy society. But, if the audience could find a small smile on their lips, that means our society stills has warmth in its corner. |
