Synopsis

MOON Ae-rin and JUNG Jin-hee, who met as lecturer and student at a writing club for disabled women, Iyagi jogakbo, are friends of the same age (34 years old). Ae-rin, an activist of Nodeul Yahak, is also disabled and a passionate fighter at the demonstrations, but in her daily life, she is shy and finds it difficult to show her feelings and thoughts to others. Meanwhile, Jin-hee, who had resided at a residential care facility since she was 12 and has just started living outside of the facility, dreams of her own independent life, but the world is tough and challenging to the severely disabled like her. The routine as an activist burdens and isolates Ae-rin, and Jin-hee dreams to marry a loved one before it is too late. We don’t need to see their life as special ones; what they are troubling with in their life will resonate with women of their age, women at thirty-four, on the road. (LEE Young-ju)
