Growing up alongside her non-verbal brother with a developmental disability, Jinhyun has always sensed the invisible boundaries society draws between them. Her film journeys through the institutions marked by abuse, tracing the shape of a world built on exclusion. Where language thins, what remains is felt – an ambitious cinematic gesture toward all that could never become words.
