SYNOPSIS
Holly is a girl who is an exceptional basketball player. Jonny, who could not take the ball away from Holly, pulls down her pants and embarrasses her in front of their friends. Due to this incident, Holly refuses to go to school and cries. After Ramtha’s visit, however, Holly decides to get even. Holly goes to school and stands on the basketball court... The use of clay animation to express Holly’s blue tears and the scene in which Holly’s room becomes a sea of tears are quite remarkable. (KIM Sunah)
