SYNOPSIS

Jung-tae is an on-site construction worker in his old age. It starts to rain at dawn, and Jung-tae starts drinking, knowing that it won't work. But soon the rain stops and the day dawns. The team leader calls to come out and work, and Jung-tae refuses to do so, but finally begins to take his drunken body to the scene. Taxis are rarely caught and it is difficult to use public transportation that is not usually taken. The process is not smooth with the cold eyes and misunderstandings around him.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Through people who live in an era but are perceived as different beings, I wanted to portray the cold eyes and the conflict that they throw at each other. I wanted to think about whether we deeply implanted fatigue into each other, which we couldn't even afford to communicate and care for through the images of us swimming in different directions, leaving our bodies in the same space.
