Synopsis
Jay, a promising young writer, is about to publish her new book. Geonwoo, Jay′s roommate and
lover, works as an English instructor at a private institute and silently assists Jay. Both of them care
about each other and are happy as they are. However, Jay’s unplanned pregnancy brings huge
changes, causing conflicts between the two.
Director's Note
The accidental pregnancy happened to a happy couple and changed their relationship permanently.
Through their unexpected journey, I wanted to reveal the bare faces of their conflicting desires and
thoroughly explore if there is possibility that they could be united without sacrificing one over the
other. Particularly, I'd like to find an answer for one big question in this film. How's woman's desire
treated and accepted in our society?
