LEE Hyunbin
Young-A, whose disability has confined her to the house all her life, senses that her father is about to murder her. She begins to contemplate how she might survive.
At the heart of this film is Young-A's survival. She escapes a house filled with lethal gas and lives. Rather than portraying a character who succumbs to the invisible forces surrounding her, I wanted to show someone who refuses death. Through this refusal, Young-A begins to reclaim herself and decides to write her own narrative. I wanted to portray her as a character who asserts her existence by choosing life and authoring her own story.
