Synopsis

¡°What makes you truly happy?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know what happiness feels like!¡± Having lost his passion for his dreams, Hyeseong now works at a live music bar. One day, he unexpectedly runs into Seongchan, an old friend who has become a successful singer-songwriter. Seongchan tries to help Hyesung rediscover his lost passion, but Hyeseong continues to resist.

Program Note

There are days like this. Just running through each day, then looking up to see everyone happily ahead, their backs turned. Hyeseong, working at a jazz café, fails another audition. A friend excitedly shares that she passed, and Seongchan, who once dreamed of making music together, appears as a guest singer. To make matters worse, a wine glass at a customer¡¯s table breaks, and Hyeseong feels like she alone is unhappy today. Spending a night with a friend who helps her look into her 'fading self,' the film softly hums a gentle tune about the compass that guides life between pure moments of music and harsh reality. (Jisu Klaire Yoo)
