Synopsis

17-year-old Joo-in seems to have it all figured out – she's cheerful, outspoken, and lives life on her own terms. When classmates petition against a convicted rapist's return to their community, Joo-in alone refuses to sign. Her unexpected reaction triggers a seismic shift in her world, while suspicious bruises on a kindergarten girl raise alarming questions. From acclaimed director Yoon Ga-eun (The World of Us, The House of Us) comes a masterful exploration of the adolescent psyche. Newcomer Seo Su-bin delivers a layered performance in this deceptively simple tale of trauma, resilience, and human connection.
