SYNOPSIS

Jay, a promising young writer, is about to publish her new book. Geonwoo, Jay’s roommate and lover, works as an English instructor at a private institute and silently assists Jay. Both of them care about each other and are happy as they are. However, Jay’s unplanned pregnancy brings huge changes, causing conflicts between the two.

DIRECTING INTENTION

The accidental pregnancy happens to a happy couple and changes their relationship permanently. Through their unexpected journey, I wanted to reveal the bare faces of their conflicting desires and thoroughly explore if there is possibility that they could be united without sacrificing one over the other. Particularly, I’d like to find an answer for one big question in this film. How is woman’s desire treated and accepted in our society?
