Up-and-coming Korean director Kim Bora scoops up the tiny sound of a girl's wings. The film "Hachidori" will be released at Eurospace and other venues.

Hachidori, or plovers, move their wings 80 times per second and fly for long periods of time in search of nectar. It is considered a symbol of hope, love, and vitality, and is one of the smallest birds in the world. This film tells the story of a sea urchin as small as a hummingbird, who is torn between various human relationships, but still tries to spread her wings to the world.

~STORY~.
The year is 1994 in Seoul, South Korea, where the Olympic Games were held in 1988, internationalization and democratization are accelerating, and the economy is experiencing unprecedented growth. Fourteen-year-old Unni lives with her family in an apartment complex. She does not fit in at school and spends her time with her best friends and boyfriends from other schools. Her parents struggled to run their small store and were indifferent to her. She felt alone and lonely. One day, a female teacher, Yeonji, comes to the Chinese literature school she attends. Un-hee gradually opens her heart to Yeon-ji, who listens to her stories. One morning, she receives news of the collapse of the Seongsu Bridge. It was the time when her sister's bus always passes the bridge. Soon after, a letter and a parcel arrive from Yeon-ji.

The film was directed by Kim Bora. Kim Bora studied film at Columbia Graduate School of Film and Television, and in 2011 directed the short film "The Recorder Test," which won awards at film festivals around the world, including the Best Student Film Award from the Directors Guild of America. This film is his feature debut, and has won more than 50 awards at film festivals in Japan and abroad, including the Berlin International Film Festival. In South Korea, the film was released in August last year and became an unprecedented blockbuster hit, drawing nearly 150,000 viewers despite being released in a single theater.

The sensitive emotions of a young girl are beautifully portrayed by Park Ji-hoo, who has appeared in numerous films since her debut in 2013 and has garnered a great deal of attention with this film. Kim Sae-byeok, who starred in Kawase Naomi's "One Summer Fantasia" (14), plays a teacher. Jung In-ki in "Guemul" (2006) and Lee Seung-yeon in "Breathless" (2008) also gave excellent performances.

To live as a woman in an age when it is commonplace for men to be treated more favorably. To live in a group, such as a school or a family. The struggles of adolescence that everyone goes through are depicted through Uni. Her unspoken doubts and fears are captured in a modest but firm weight that will take your breath away.

The film will open in theaters nationwide starting this Saturday, June 20 at Eurospace. Please come to the theater and listen carefully to each sound of her wings.
