High school girl, Joo-hee doesn't feel belong to her family. She has a close friend, Hyun-mi. Even Hyun-mi sometimes picks on Joo-hee, she tries to get along with her, since Hyun-mi is the only one she feel belong to. It is the same for Joo-hee's mother. She stays with her husband even when he's been beating and harassing her because she belongs to him. One day, Joo-hee happens to know what really goes on. Would she be ok? Could she deal with all of this?
Our life seems to be linear and directed in a planned way always. However, through Joo-hee's story, I'd like to suggest the idea that everything's not always expected in our life. Like "Butterfly Effect", sometimes a trifling particle of everyday life affects the whole life. And this happens regardless of your intention. What would Joo-hee's life be like? How is it going?
