SYNOPSIS

One winter day, a tiger escapes from the zoo. Gyeong-yu, who has been living off of his girlfriend, is suddenly abandoned by her for reasons he can't understand. Having nowhere to go, Gyeong-yu finds himself on the street with a suitcase. With the whereabouts of the tiger unknown, the people are gripped by a vague fear. Gyeong-yu, working for a designated driver service, drifts this way and that, and happens to come across his former girlfriend Yoo-jung. Yoo-jung has become a novelist, as Gyeong-yu once dreamed of doing. But she is currently in a tailspin, unable to write. Gyeong-yu and Yoo-jung set off again on a new journey.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Thinking back over my past, it suddenly occurred to me that there were too many moments of cowardice. In relationships with people who were important to me, or on the verge of making important decisions, I ran away because of vague or commonplace fears. Surely in the future too, I will not be able to break completely free of such fears, but this story was born of a hope that I will no longer avoid such difficult moments, and meet them face on. To everyone, including myself, who stands before large or small fears, I hope this film can provide a small bit of consolation.
