Program Note
Involved in a scandalous accident, high school girl Han Gong-ju is forced to change schools. Her parents cannot look after her, so she stays at the home of her new teacher’s mother. Her new friend Eunhee finds that Gong-ju is a good singer and gets her into the a cappella club. But the parents of the previous school cause a disturbance after seeing a video in which Gong-ju sings. A mere victim, having done nothing wrong herself, Gong-ju is forced to shun others’ attention. The film gradually digs up her past, but she is not always seen as a dark figure. She might have a painful past, but she has caring friends, and she has a clear, sweet voice, probably only possible for a teenager. Contrasting with the sparkling moments of her high school years are the grownups’ dirty, mean, and shameful attitudes. The cruelly honest gaze, looking at Gong-ju’s painful, heartbreaking story and the teenagers’ delicate sensibility harmonize beautifully in this film. (NAM Dong-chul)
