SYNOPSIS

A day in spring. After finishing job interviews, Seol-hee and Hwa-jeong impulsively travel to the East Sea to make wishes on the rising sun. They stay up all night waiting for the sunrise, but then they miss it and have a serious fight. After separating, Seol-hee gets to know Ji-an and Hwa-jeong gets to know Han-na, and they each resolve to help their new friends attain their wishes. And in the process, they slowly come to know a bit more about what it is that they truly want.

DIRECTING INTENTION

There have been many times in my life when I made a wish on something or other. My wishes were conventional, and I didn’t even honestly know what it was that I wanted. And despite realizing that my wishes were unlikely to come true, like everyone else I carried with me a vague sense of expectation. Through this story of two friends who take an impulsive trip to the East Sea one spring day in order to make a wish, I wanted to consider what it is that we truly want in life, what we can do to make those things come true, and what kind of influence we can have on each other.
