SYNOPSIS

Da-hyun is a single lady in her twenties who lives alone and has a passion for rap music. She finds herself in a very unfamiliar space when she tried a new part-time job. In that strange place, at the end of one long autumn night, Dahyun makes a choice of her own.

Program Note

Da-hyun, a girl who likes to rap, starts
 working part-time at a hostess bar for a living. With the money earned, she
 buys food and saves money out of her earnings regularly. It’s a life that some
 people may think as easy and carefree, but Da-hyun lives diligently and
 fiercely every day. Da-hyun’s true, bare-face – the face of a teenager trying
 to survive in a tough world – is temporarily effaced and hidden during her
 work, but returns as soon as she comes out from the hostess bar and is alone.
 One long autumn night, Da-hyun resolves to make her way through the darkness. As
 the lyrics of her rap, which was kept to herself until now, travel from the
 microphone to other people, all the emotions that were pent up inside her
 explode. The film is memorable for capturing the director’s tenacity that
 pushes the film to its limit until the very end, the emotional dynamics of his
 directing, and a film ending that vividly portrays the director’s troubles and
 worries. [KANG Ba-da]
