Synopsis

A sophomore girl in high school goes to a photography club and meets a boy for the first time. Her eyes follow him, and she wants to talk to him, but for some reason she keeps shaking. As she gets to know him, her feelings grow, and she wants to tell him how she feels, but she can’t get any closer for fear of ruining their friendship. The girl writes a letter to release her pent-up emotions. Then on graduation day, she realizes that it’s her last opportunity to share her feelings. But in the end, she is unable to give him her letter. As an adult, she comes across a trace of her past and smiles as she realizes how beautiful that time was.

Director's Comment

I tried to express the story of Baek.A's lyrics as much as possible through this animation. We all make a lot of mistakes in childhood and used to find that life is difficult. At that time, more often than not, we procrastinate because of fear. But all the flowers bloom swaying. And just as flower buds that have not bloomed are not meaningless, our childhood is beautiful and meaningful in itself. In this animation, by beautifully showing the memories of a boy and a girl, I want to say that the immature days we all have had meaning in their own way and try to comfort them.
