This story is about a recent graduate who has no goals in life, is unproductive and feels mediocre and cannot fit in the society. Working in a discount store, her boring life is burdened by strange and troublesome colleagues. As misfortunes pile up one after the other, will she ever open up her heart and find release?
Artist’s Statement
This short film attempts to encourage us to set aside prejudice and not to follow the social norms and expectations. Don’t be afraid of the “busydoingnothing” situation. Try to improve and face our weakness. Life is a roller coaster, instead of mere positive attitude, to face the less satisfying personal life with a strong will is much more closer to reality.
