The filmmaker, a student at a Japanese language school, injures his dominant right hand and practices writing Japanese with his left hand. Compared to the Korean his right hand is used to writing, his left-handed Japanese is faltering and imprecise. A day off spent with friends from the Japanese school. Poems recited in his native language are layered on top of images moving violently back and forth in the gap between ease and impatience to create a unique rhythm. A new approach to the diary film.
