SYNOPSIS

[EN] Mirim witnesses a student who accidentally falls down. Woorin hears the situation and recall similar past events. I tried to express the moment with intense memories such as trauma in a cinematic way. The situation in which a student falls down in the play is both a student's experience and Mirim's experience. This scene remains as clear as Mirim's memory to the extent that blood is depicted splashed on her face. In the ending sequence, there is a scene where the camera, which was progressing from the student's point of view, is "paused" and looks at her back as if she is out of fluid. From this assumption, it can be seen that the scene is closer to the point of view based on Mirim's imagination than the point of view of the student. Mirim makes eye contact with herself in her imagination. The camera seems to continue from the student's point of view, but it is separated from the student herself from the moment she stands up and begins to walk out. In other words, unlike high school students who leave the situation, the camera stops without getting out of where she fell. This scene indirectly shows that Mirim's consciousness remains where the student who collapsed even after time has passed.
