Program Note
First-year high school student Da-young is required to write about her summer vacation as an assignment. She chooses to write about her relationship and conflicts with her boyfriend, Byung-hoon, who is in the same grade. When she hands in the assignment, her homeroom teacher questions her about the shocking details, and she is forced to write a letter of apology, the contents of which make up the action of the film. This is not a typical by-the-numbers coming-of-age movie. As events and structures emerge and build up unpredictably, secret emotions appear, and the clash between the severity of the characters’ situation and the immaturity of their solutions sends the audience into a state of panic. Is what we see really what Da-young wrote in the letter? Several layers of questions and secrets lurk in-between and make this movie very compelling. (JUNG Hanseok)
