Our take
Bora Kim’s acclaimed debut portrays the everyday struggles of a teenage girl in Seoul with a keen eye on the small tragedies that make us grow. Giving a sense of serenity and hope to the chaos that surrounds the bumpy road to adolescence, the film leaves a mark with its profound emotional effect.
