The writer is writing a novel with a pencil. The main female character in the novel falls in love, becomes estranged, and finally breaks up with a man. She then overdoses and kills herself. At that moment, the writer's pencil breaks. The novel stops, and the writer sharpens his pencil. The main character in the novel throws up the pills she was taking to kill herself and comes back to life. She does not want to die. She is now fighting for her life and looking for a notebook and something to write with. She finds the fountain pen she got as a gift from her estranged lover and starts writing a novel about the writer. (Source: CINEHUB Official Korean Short Film) Edit Translation

A short masterpiece

This is a short film where Go Min Si most probably was told to tell a gripping story in less than four minutes and my oh my this girl nailed is!

With very few words this short film shows us love, joy, angst, pain, and more... (not gonna spoil these 3:16 minutes)

The music may not be a pleasure to hear but it setts the mood perfectly, the subs are kind of bad but it does not affect the way the story is conveyed anyway as the pictures pretty much say most of it and even when the translation is awful the message is still clear from the context.

This of course only scratches the surface of the issues it is trying to convey but does seem to fit in a lot more in 3:16 minutes than some full length dramas do.

I watched it out of curiosity when I saw the title under Go Min Sis credits as Screenwriter & Director, and as you can see I was pretty impressed.
