Program Note
Jihyeon works at the university as a part-timer, writing and making films. He is not ambitious and is thankful to have work that he enjoys. He finds joy in recording trivial things in life and the scenery he passes by every day. One day, as he holds an audition while preparing for his next film, he meets Geonu, a junior colleague from school. They become close as they work together, and are confused by unfamiliar emotions. Their relationship becomes a topic of controversy in the university community, and to protect Geonu, Jihyeon claims that he was the one who sexually abused Geonu. How will the two men face despair and hope? Universities seem to be places free from prejudice, but the reality is not so. When homosexuality is mentioned, students are shocked and show fear and disgust. This is even more so in a male-only house. Prejudice is evident in conversations, not only about homosexuality but also about film sites. In the end, their love is treated as an accident caused by immaturity. (NAM Dong-chul)
