Touching on themes of alienation, director KU Hye-sun's sophomore feature got its festival debut in Busan back in October 2011 and subsequently screened during the Jecheon International Music and Film Festival. The young singer and actress KU has impressed many with her recent career swing into the director’s chair. She previously made her feature directing debut with Magic in 2010 at the tender age of 26. The film stars CHO Seung-woo, RYU Deok-hwan and NAM Sang-mi.
