Synopsis

This film is a story about Nabimat (which means “Butterfly Favored” in Korean), a rock band which played in Busan for 7 years. It is not easy for an independent band to survive in a local town that cannot provide enough chances to perform, and all the members having different occupations is not helping. Despite such obstacles, they succeed in assuring fans of the uniqueness of their music and eventually record their first album in January 2009. They even appear on a radio program in Seoul. However, Noh Eun-seok, the leader of the band, becomes a player in Seoul, leaving the other members in Busan. With 2 years of shooting, this first feature documentary by Park Gyoungbae (who himself is from Busan) vividly shows how members of Nabimat struggled to perform their music and why they had to leave Busan.
