Sypnosis:
Lee Eon Hee makes a fantastic directorial debut with this simple, poignant tale of young love. Containing a mother-daughter relationship that is as touching as it is unconventional, this unusually titled film centers on Gang Min Ah (Im Su Jung, star of A Tale of Two Sisters), a sickly high school girl who’s been in and out of hospitals since she was a young girl. She rooms with her single parent mom (Lee Mi Sook), who encourages her daughter to live life to the fullest. Poor Min Ah is afflicted with a terminal disease and is not long for this world. In reaction to this terrible reality, it seems both mother and daughter have learned to stay focused solely on the present moment, since the future seems so terribly bleak. Still, Min Ah dreams of someday having a boyfriend, but can anyone really match up to her ideal fantasy?
