Artist’s Statement
We would like to tell a story of ordinary women around us. We have met so many women who struggle in their lives, but they convert the struggle into fuel to move forward and they inspire people around them, which we think they are so beautiful. Our film is about beautiful and strong people and we would like to praise them.
