In his final semester of vocational high school, Chang-woo is seriously trying to figure out what comes next. There are very few options for someone like him: a mediocre student from a single-parent family. The reserved teen takes an internship at a manufacturing company where both opportunities and safety measures are inadequate, but sticking it out seems to be his only hope for work and college. Subtle yet searing, Lee Ran-hee's coming-of-age social drama picked up three prizes at the Busan Vision Awards for its naturalistic depiction of grinding workplace conditions and the struggles of underprivileged youth looking for a way forward.
