Korean Premiere

Growth/Independence Labor

SYNOPSIS

After being fired from her restaurant job, Qin-Qin, a
 30-year-old beer girl, feels lost and tries to get drunk.
 She wanders through the darkened lanes by a fishing
 harbor, searching for meaning in her life. When she
 walks into a late night seafood stand, Qin-Qin finds
 what she has long been missing.

 

Chin chin
 promotes beer drinkers at bars by wearing a miniskirt. Such easily replaceable
 and self-devouring work doesn¡¯t make her feel any sense of dignity. She,
 treated distantly by her family, her lover, her work, and even herself, doesn¡¯t
 seem to have many choices left between being discarded or hitting the rock
 bottom of society. She precariously wanders the streets at night but,
 fortunately, she comes across a good company, and the night becomes a stage for
 those outcasts. Chin chin isn
¡¯t the only one who is relieved to enter a new day with the willpower
 she gets overnight.
