SYNOPSIS
A girl is harassed by her classmates. The rocks she carries around in her pocket are not just for defense against bullies. This film, which combines live action with animated images, employs imagination to instantaneously refuse the indivisible relationship between the body and land. Physical facts such as Newton’s Law of Gravitation and terrestrial gravity cannot trespass in the land of film. (Kim Joon-yang)
