Program Note
In this teen drama about the dreams and passions of high school students, Natsu is a soccer team assistant at Sanno High School. After a horrible tournament season in the summer, Natsu is requested to resign. She refuses and fights to stay, but eventually ends up leaving. Despite problems ranging from bullying to career concerns within the team, to Natsu this job was special. She believes that despite all the setbacks, each risk and challenge was a joy to her?though everyone else thinks otherwise. All they want is good scores from the tournaments for their own selfish ambitions and getting special admission into college. This is where the gap between Natsu and her team begins. Even though team captain, Go, understands and appreciates her, he is unable to help her. The film questions who truly loves the sport and whether success should be the sole purpose in life. (KIM Ji-seok)
