Dawn to Dawn

Synopsis

The birds endlessly flapped their wings to go over the wall. "The goal is to pass and go over the wall", for long time applicant Ji-soo, and first time applicant Sun-young, who studies together. Are they competitors or friends?

Program Note

This lyrical film depicts a female character struggling to find a job. Jeong Ha-dam’s cold and emotional performance brings her character, Ji-soo, to life. Animation is slotted in between scenes, which gracefully unfolds a perplexing and ironic theme, with the ending making a strong impact too. (CHANG Hyun-sang)
