Each with their own dream in mind undergo a one month acting lesson from veteran actor Mi-rae. From their encounter with “acting”, they begin to asks endless questions about themselves like: “What am I hiding and what will be first to come out? What kind of person am I?” Will the four of them be able to find themselves through acting? The truth is, we all spend our entire lives acting.
