Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived alone in a small village in the high mountains. Mans who knew that she lived alone often tried to sneak into her home a night. And one day, her worst fears came true. So she runs away and decides to go into a forbidden forest to die. In the forest, Okyoen meets somebody- her friend who got married and moved away years ago. Okyeon soon realizes something was off with her friend. Because she was wearing the same wedding attire from the day she got married. in the midst of all the secrets being revealed, what choice will the little girl make?

 

One cool night in autumn, I had a dream that a little girl, tired of everything going into the forbidden forest to die. Most of the dream was blurry, but the last image of the girl-leaving behind the huge mountain she lived her entire life and walking on and on was so clear when I woke up. I wanted to share that sense of liberation with someone. Although this story takes place in the world of traditional fairy tales, I think the exhausted mind that wants to close one’s eyes and give up everything is a point that can relate even now. I hope the audience who watched will get the strength to stand up and walk once again at the end of this journey.
