Synopsis
Not wanting to lose a relay race, Yi-rang causes a collapse even though she is close to abandoning her dream of becoming an athlete. Around the same time, Soo-min transfers into her life from Seoul, along with Cheol-soo, who aspires to be a scientist. The three of them are immature but are caught up in the excitement of youthful ambition. In this heartwarming animation, Han Hye-jin-I and Ahn Jae-hoon encourage Yi-rang's dreams and convey the fantasy and thrill of adolescence through meaningful relationships with kind people. Set in the 1980s and 1990s, an old umbrella and a railroad crossing through the city serve as reminders of a bygone era, stirring nostalgia in the audience for what has disappeared. This approach evokes the genuine "dreams" we have lost in today's society, where rapid capitalization is taking hold.
