Sun-young has graduated from a Korean literature course and goes to the graduate school as an assistant teacher.
She is always obsessed with making a composition and understands everything with her fantasies. She gets broken heart from a lecture at school who she has crush on, but she pretends to be ok in the way she imagines.
Actually we tend to interpret things in our own perspectives.
Whenever we have some difficulties or feel disable, we entertain ourselves by excusing for our conduct. I'd like to get a stressed people living in the modern society some freshness through the process of describing this situation in film.
