If we can't reach there

The future society, which prioritizes academic achievements only, was maintained with unilateral instructions and profits, and led to the absence of communication and the disappearance of friends. Yoon, a timid but unable to give up his heart's warmth, meets the AI robot Sooji and realizes that what he needs most is his friend and opens the tightly closed door.

Director Statement

I imagined a modern society where only study is important, and a future society where communication and friends disappeared in the end due to more extreme and misguided academic enthusiasm. I thought that making friends would not achieve the goals set by society under such a suppressed system. However, I thought that if you truly want to make friends by recognizing what you want, you should move yourself rather than waiting timidly. I wanted to give everyone who lives timidly in modern society the courage to actively move forward through my work.
