A man selling instant glue at a subway stop makes a mistake during the product demonstration. Because of his blunder, he is afraid to board the train. He resolves to try again and finally succeeds, only to be caught by the police. Warmly depicting the peddlers in the subway, the film tells us that there is always hope.
Simply, there is no answer to the question why we live this life.
But if you don¡¯t have any anticipation that it¡¯ll get better, life would be nothing but a continuous agony.
That vague anticipation can be named as hope and I wanted to express that hope.
