SYNOPSIS

Joonie often used to get hungry late at night. Whenever she did, she went to the freezer and took out the corn her father grew at his weekend farm last summer. Two minutes and thirty seconds. While the corn was slowly spinning in the microwave, Joonie wondered to herself. Why did father get mad all of a sudden?

DIRECTING INTENTION

Although I wish everything that happens to me will be transparent in terms of cause and effect, I am aware that life does not always present us with clear reasons. Likewise, I will never be able to understand you completely, and you won’t be able to understand me completely either. I no longer ask, "Why?" Like an absent minded person who vaguely recalls old memories, all I am left with, are just a few scenes.
