“Among all the people you know, how many really understand what's going on inside you?”

Drama

14-year-old Eun-hee moves through life like a hummingbird searching for a taste of sweetness wherever she may find it. Ignored by her parents and abused by her brother, she finds her escape by roaming the neighborhood with her best friend, going on adventures, and exploring young love.

VIBE

A quiet, tender exploration of adolescent yearning and the search for connection. It feels like a whispered secret, a gentle unfolding of self-discovery against the backdrop of a specific time and place. Intimate and deeply felt.
