DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

Director

“Romantic mood” is frequently happening in homosexual groups. It’s kind of ‘Cliché’ relating to an instant moment of romantic relationship, especially, between guys doing military service. Moreover, it could be a fragile as well as breakable moment in a boundary of heterosexual and homosexual love. I’d like to suggest one question through this film. Is it true that people’s feelings are locked in each room with firmly closed windows? It’s a question for ‘so-called’ straight people.
