Jang Woo-jin : 2014
A Fresh Start
After finishing his military service, Ji-hyeon returns to his studies, only to face difficult family issues and rumours of his college department being abolished. At a literary club meeting, Ji-hyeon meets Hye-rin, who shares his concerns, and they have an impulsive one night stand after the meeting. During the following days they stay at an awkward distance from each other until Hye-rin finds out she is pregnant. They both agree to have an illegal abortion and travel together to a remote clinic in the countryside. Unfortunately, they don't have enough money for the surgery and they get kicked out, spending the rest of the day desperate and lost in an unknown place. The next morning, they give up their plan and decide to head to the east coast of Korea, where Ji-hyeon served in the army. Jang Woo-jin's feature debut was winner of the Grand Prize for Korean Competition when it premiered at Jeonju International Film Festival 2014.
