Synopsis
In the summer of 1999, amidst a backdrop of rampant violence, two teenagers find solace in each other’s company. Joo-young, a secondary school student and taekwondo athlete, and Ye-ji, a participant in a foster care programme, form a deep bond that becomes their source of strength in facing life’s challenges. Starring Park Soo-yeon (HOUSE OF HUMMINGBIRD) and Lee Yoo-mi (TV’s SQUID GAME), this film awakens the tender nostalgia of first love.
