Synopsis

In the summer of 2011, the Korean rock industry seemed to guarantee a bright future, thanks to the booming audition programs like ‘KBS TopBand.’ Broken Valentine was spotted on this program during a battle with the band Toxic. Despite being together for about 10 years and winning the Grand Prize at the Yamaha Asian Beat competition in 2009, they still struggled to grab attention from the masses. This documentary follows their passionate and rather naive days right after the program ended. The film follows them for 3 months. We see all the rockers in the movie dreaming of a promising future, but after 3 years, they are still young, still passionate, but slightly skeptical rockers, looking back at the old days and talking about their music and lives.
