SYNOPSIS

As her name indicates, Jeong-sun lives an uncluttered life with modest behave despite hard working at a food factory. Young-soo, a work colleague, approaches her. As they get closer, they enjoy their secret relationship, and he takes candid shots of her in beds with his mobile camera. One day, she starts getting inappropriate stares from others.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Digital sex crimes are not just issues for my generation. However, on account of the term “digital,” there still seems to be a lack of awareness that the middle-aged can be exposed to such crimes. Accordingly, through the character “Jeong-sun” who can be easily met in our daily life, I hope people change their perception that digital sex crimes are issues for an entire generation, not only for certain ages.
