Synopsis

Yoonjin rejects Haekyung's sudden confession of love that she met in the "Youth Writing Class." However, Youngji, a writing teacher, suggests them to collaborate to write until the next class. Yoonjin and Haekyung, who unexpectedly became a team, say they each want to write about ‘Apocalypse’ and ‘Love.’ However, differences in opinions are rarely narrowed, and the conversation eventually leads to a fierce battle.

Program Note

Yoonjin, who worries about the end of the world, and Haekyung, who believes love is the most important thing, have to complete an assignment by writing a joint essay together. Yoonjin and Haekyung have an unyielding debate about the immense idea of the Earth’s crisis, against the seemingly trivial matter of personal love. The delightful and humorous flow of these conversations between lovable characters provides a fresh experience that allows the audience to re-experience time within the world of the movie.
