SYNOPSIS

The documentary looks into the people of “Gguma”, the only community youth center for Ojeong district in the city of Bucheon. While teenagers, dancing, practising in bands, making movies, are observed, the focus gradually shifts onto two main programs at Gguma. “Rebellious Green Frog: late-night restaurant for youths” is misunderstood due to its peculiar name, and the teachers of the class, “Bucheon, School of Delight” are not very delighted about their students not showing up.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Born in the 1990’s, I grew up listening to adults saying the phrase, “You can do whatever you want.” But those born in the 2000’s, don't seem to have such anticipations in the first place. Is hope fading?
