A student is often bullied by his classmates because he isn’t good at talking. Like other students, a boy turns a blind eye to the wrongdoings to avoid trouble. Until he feels the same pain in his dream, he decides to stand up for the victim... It is no longer important why he does that... Not drifting with the waves and going with the flow, but with the courage to stand with the truth are the real “strength” and “power”.

Artist’s Statement

When we were making this film, the conflicts in the society were not yet very worrying. We just view from the angle of the victims and want to see if we can do something for them. They are confronting the high wall without receiving any response. It is indeed very lonely. When I calm down, it seems like I can hear their shouts... When I think about it again, during this period of time, this film is especially meaningful.
