Synopsis

Yejin, a viola instructor, finds the line between reality and dreams growing increasingly blurred.

Program Note

Yejin, who teaches viola, appears calm and composed, but there's a quiet sadness beneath the surface. When she learns that one of her students is suffering from severe anxiety due to pressure from a demanding mother, memories of her own painful past begin to resurface. The story weaves between her present as a teacher and her past as a student who endured intense pressure, gradually revealing the emotional wounds she has long kept hidden. This film becomes a quiet yet powerful exploration of psychological struggle, and a healing drama for those who have ever been trapped in a situation where even giving up didn’t feel like an option.
