Synopsis

Song-yi wakes up from her nap and heads on her way to get some water. Suddenly she bumps her private area on the corner of the desk Dong-yeong was pushing. Surprised, Song-yi feels something she’s never felt before.

Director's Note

Everyone has their ‘firsts’ in their lives, and ‘firsts’ are always confusing.

By showing the first sexual acknowledgement felt as a child through corner masturbation -an act of infancy masturbation- I wanted to show the trauma of external suppression of infancy masturbation getting fixated in a person's life.
