Synopsis

​ Ji-young, an actress, is participating in a theater performance with fellow actress Jin-ah. One night, the two leave the theater after becoming frustrated with the company's director, Mr. Hong's constant tantrums. With nowhere to go due to the distance, they rent a car and drive to Busan.

Program Note

​ This film beautifully weaves a story that resonates with the lyrics of the song of the same title performed by Choi Baek-ho. Ji-young and Jin-ah, who are busy preparing for a play, impulsively decide to embark on a journey to Busan after a heated disagreement with the theater company's head. Leaving behind unresolved matters, the two find themselves turning their rental car into a karaoke room and a beach into their stage. As they imagine the light at the end of the tunnel, they "face the fragments shattered by the waves," echoing the words of Choi Baek-ho's song. Kang Jin-ah, portraying Ji-young, and Park Jiyeong, portraying Jin-ah, deliver a delightful performance. (Nam Sunwoo)
