Synopsis
Se-in and Su-jin are a lesbian couple living in Seoul in 2013. The relationship between bisexual Su-jin and lesbian Se-in is frowned upon both by the society and the queer community. When a man named Kyung-chul develops feelings for Su-jin, some misunderstandings between the two women lead to a major argument. Their feelings of mistrust and discontent towards each other erupt like an active volcano.
Program Note
Queer couple, Se-in and Su-jin run into Gyeong-cheol, who has a crush on Su-jin, at a bar. Gyeong-cheol, rather clueless, joins the couple and
starts hitting on Su-jin. Se-in, who¡¯s a lesbian, isn¡¯t so happy with how her bisexual partner Su-jin reacts. Misunderstanding between the couple
builds up and discontent starts to erupt. This film brings a bisexual female character into the scene, which is rather rare in Korean queer films,
and raises a question through her voice and perspective. Why must she be so insecure? [Jay SOHN]
