SYNOPSIS

Mi-youn has been preparing for the teacher certification exam for a long time, and now is about to set off from her one-room studio. She leaves her stuff at the trash dock. Others pick up her stuff, and the room where Mi-youn used to study is waiting for a new job seeker.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Numerous young people have gathered in Noryangjin in order to secure their stability and happiness through "passing"
However, faces that seems confident have started to become pale and secludes them between cold walls.
The smiles are gone and they've become more 'day by day get by' type of people.
I want to ask questions to the ones that came to find happiness. if they are really happy.
