The calendar shows 1932
Yeonjun is from a small village where the sun barely reaches their side of the house. He lives in an ordinary house, goes to an ordinary school. Yeonjun's father is strict (like all fathers of that time). Discipline, honor, dignity: the three rules of their village.
The girls go to a separate school, take ballet lessons, and prepare to become wives. The boys wrestle in their spare time and prepare for military service. Everything is going according to order and rules until Yeonjun notices something strange...
One evening he was coming home from boxing with his friends from school, and I was next door to a ballet studio. The boys liked to spy on the girls and watch them. But the ballet studio was empty today, until Yeonjun saw his classmate named Beomgyu, who... Did ballet? That's forbidden! A guy can't do ballet. Especially Beomgyu, whose father is a strict military man who beats his children.
