Trigger warning: Thematization or depiction of suicide

Na-min (OH Woo-ri) and Sun-woo (BANG Hyo-rin), both outcasts and victims of brutal bullying, decide that suicide is the only way out of their hopeless situation and decide to come together for a suicide pact. When they find out that their ex-bully Chae-lin (JUNG Yi-ju) is living a seemingly happy life in Seoul, they decide to travel to the capital to have their revenge. However, Chae-lin is now a member of a Christian group and feels guilty about her past as a bully. Will Na-min and Sun-woo stick with their plan for revenge?
The impressive feature film debut by director LIM Oh-jeong blends dark comedy with drama and creates a fresh coming-of-age film that surprises and charms at every turn.
