Do-yeon goes night-climbing with her two friends and they get lost. She's wandering around in circles only to repeat the same routes. So, she is in ¡®Ringwanderung¡¯.
While walking ahead, Do-yeon makes a wrong move at a very steep cliff and three of them fall over. Waking up two days later, she finds herself staying in a tent with her two other friends. But she feels very strange about them, as they're repeating the same thing everyday...
*Ringwanderung
climbing term indicating getting lost in the mountains and going around in the same area over and over because of the loss of sense of bearings caused by fog, rainstorm, heavy snow or fatigue.
What would life be like? If your life repeates daily. In such a circumstance, you may feel bored about life and eventually feel terrified.
Do-yeon may be a metaphor of ourselves who want to escape from our boring and repeating life.
