Program Note
On a torpid summer′s day an enervated high school senior, in the midst of studying for college exams, falls into a kind of dream. With humor and sarcasm, the student narrates for us a tale of melancholy and despair. Short films have often depicted Korean youth and their stress over examinations, as well as the temptations of their lives. This film finds new form for an old subject and provides a deeper look into the psyche of one young Korean. (Kwon Yong-Min)
