SYNOPSIS

One spring day, Yeon-a bewilders her classmates by declaring that her body smells. Things get worse, and soon she ends up refusing even to eat. Even so, the studious Seong-eun, a fellow student, becomes attracted to her.

PROGRAM NOTE

In a classroom on a spring day, when Yeon-a suddenly says she stinks, a teacher and classmates are embarrassed. Seong-eun walks in on Yeon-a throwing up, and strangely it¡¯s been playing on her mind. Seong-eun, who is unconcerned about everything but studying, feels that suppressed emotions and senses are released. Expressionless face and indifferent voice of Han Yeri, who played Seong-eun, become a sentiment of the film while it drily and mysteriously captures the peak of the spring days Yeon-a reaches. [YEOM Eunyoung]
