LOGLINE

May, 2008. 15-year-old Sunwoo, who doesn’t like her breasts growing and her physical appearance changing during puberty, meets the student teacher, Song-ee and affirms herself with a new experience.

SYNOPSIS

Sunwoo is a 15-year-old girl with short hair who only wears pants. She is too timid to explain clearly what style she wants to get to a hairdresser.
Unlike her responsible and capable mother, Sunwoo is upset with her father, who stays at home after failing in his business repeatedly. Then Chaewon, whom Sunwoo thought was a special friend, gets a boyfriend, and her feelings are unclear. As frustrated as she does not know what it feels to be attracted to someone, her daily life changes.
One day in early May, she meets Song-ee, a free and outspoken student teacher who shares new experiences with Sunwoo. Her feelings for Song-ee grow bigger without her knowing.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

The process of self-identification begins in adolescence. During this period, most of the time is spent at school. Within the place pursuing universality, being different from the majority encourages you to deny yourself. In particular, the hatred and violence experienced within a place like school often make you hide yourself and turn away.

Through the character Song-ee, I wanted to give Sunwoo the gift of a positive experience about herself and school.
Sunwoo, who fell for a slightly different first love, is just another hesitant, timid, and shy kid. By showing how she grows, which is slow but solid, I would like to show that her way can be more truthful, stronger, and more beautiful.
