Video Review

Se-jin (Lee Yoo-mi) is a troubled teenage girl. Living alone with her younger sister, she yearns for something more in life but is unsure of what it is. She finds stimulation in cutting herself with a razorblade and receives a punishing amount of bullying and verbal abuse from her classmates whom she considers her friends. One day, Se-jin becomes pregnant and decides she definitely doesn’t want to keep the baby. Without any money, she impulsively leaves home to live on the streets where she meets another runaway, Joo-young (Hani), who promises to help Se-jin make money.

While the girls roam the streets stealing and sleeping in random places, they meetup with two runaway boys, Jae-pil (Lee Hwan) and Shin-ji, and begin to take bigger and bigger risks. But their carefree days of squatting in empty homes and getting high on pills become only a temporary escape from the hard and painful realties of growing up, as their behavior begins to pose and greater and greater risk to themselves and others.
