In 2008, 9 years have already passed since the beginning of the new century. How does she remember and shape the 20th century, a famous Korean writer? Director Byun Young-joo's current work, which began with a contemplation of the history and art methodology, is a story about himself, who is still at the edge of the 20th century. In the novel of the author, which has long been the best textbook for the director to interpret the 20th century, he reminisces by showing the changed face of Seoul from the 50s to the 90s. How will the image of the 2000s change in the opinion of the artist who came to Seoul along with the Korean War? And through interviews with people who collide with her story or her image, it shows the director's Seoul feeling in the author's novels.
