Synopsis

My younger brother, Sung-ik, has no heart for study and just tries to pursue a career in music, instead of going on to college. In my case, while I study hard, I am so depressed, not doing well on the school grades. In the movie, I look at my younger brother and myself with worries about the future.

Review

We've sometimes asked ourselves "Why have we taken a camera in hand?". To record the facts, to remember the past and the present, to tell people the truth, etc., there are lots of reasons for each of us. In DMZ Docs Youth Documentary Production Workshop, the youth take a camera in hand for various reasons and make a documentary with their own stories every year.
This year, the youth had tried to reveal the problems in their life through various subjects. In <Do What I Want to Do>, the director, a college entrance examinee at present, raises some questions about the Korean society that makes the high school senior not do anything else except studying hard. <Joys and Sorrows of One's Life> shows how a school girl overcomes an experience that she failed by a single vote in an election to be the president of high school last year. In <Following the Hayao>, the director talks about his grief concerning his own dream. He could not keep going with persistence in every matter since he was young, that's why he chose to take a camera. Now he is searching out his own dream. The director in <Sung-ik, Let's Study> started making a documentary by worries about his younger brother playing game every day. She tries to seek a solution to the problem, recording the stories of the younger brother, her family and her own with a camera. In <Sisters in a Room>, the director tells a story that she often quarrels with her twin sister, when they live together in a single room. She took a camera to resolve their conflicts and come to know what they didn't know regarding each other.
They were conscious of the various problems in their life and took a camera in hand, in order to find the solution. I want to applaud them for their courage in trying to recognizing the problems of their life and in frankly revealing them. [An Hyun-jun]
