Synopsis

This sentimental and visuel poem crosses the lives of Jiyoung Jang, a 40-years-old trans artist, Loi Tan, an adopted Filipino boy, and Rain, a young woman from the Philippines with a Korean dream. Their lives accidentally intertwine. The way the characters undergo psychological pollution in both spaces, and how these people pollute their own environment illustrates the irony that the modern people lives in.
