My father, who has been by my side all my life, is about to die. Dambi is afraid of being alone and wants to marry her boyfriend, Jae-an. However, Jae-an, an aspiring actor, only shows Dambi the ugly side of himself. She travels to Yeongjongdo Island in search of her ex-boyfriend, Sung-pyo. But not all men are willing to go along with her wishes. Will she ever get married?

We become infinitely smaller when we fall into loneliness. Yearning to hold onto something only makes us more desperate. That’s what I observed in Dambi. She keeps shrinking into herself. Dambi has no choice but to go wherever there’s something to grasp onto. Even when her father is facing death, she must leave, even if she doesn’t know if it’s the right choice for a better life. Though aware of Dambi’s struggle to survive, the film lets her tread her own path. Nobody stops or blames her—since this is a matter of survival. (SHIN Dongmin)
