Director‘s Statement:
Park Dong-soo, who has a disability but still writes poems, gets praised by people. However, he finds it difficult to express his feelings in language. This difficulty gets worse after coming out of the facility. The film shows how he finds his own “poetry”, exploring what "poetry" means to a human being, and that it is not just written letters, but an art that can be expressed with the whole body in various moments of daily life.
