Synopsis
Ji-wan lives with a teenager son, Si-young and her husband, Sang-woo. She quits her job as a school teacher and starts working on a script to become a film director. She has worked on her script for many years but making it into a film seems almost impossible. Under the big pressures of writing a script, Ji-wan feels that the house is overflowing with ants that crawl all over her computer keyboard. For a long time, she has fallen into depression.
In a new film company, she starts to write a script about music bands and she goes to Rock Music Festival for an interview. There she encounters a fantastic rainbow scene in the empty stage, and picks up an abandoned music score. She is stimulated by the vitality of the band as she covers the members and is newly energizing by her participation as an extra in her friend’s movie. Although her script is never made into a film, her son playing a guitar in a school band extracts a part of her script and turns it into a song called ‘Passerby #3’.
Director's Note
I believed if I was eager to make film, I would make it someday.
But my first feature film was fallen down and all my efforts were in vain. When I realized the ' dream' is the checks do not guarantee, I lost the way. For a long time I wandered from place to place. Nobody shows the way to me.
After all, my scenario became the garbage, but I was sorry to my scenarios I abandoned. Although my first film is failed in film production company, but I want to somebody sing my song on the screen. So I decided to make film myself and I made it “Rainbow (Passerby #3)”.
