Synopsis
Three people – a young female student, Yeri; a disabled handicap, Chunkil; and a priest – gets arrested in a hotel room for suspected prostitution. During the police investigation, the group claims that the girl was a sex volunteer. Chunkil has taught himself to become a poet. However, he failed to express his feelings to his first crush. Feeling desperate and knowing his death is imminent, Chunkil confesses to the priest that he wants to feel a sexual pleasure in his lifetime. As the priest contemplates Chunkil's confession, Yeri, a young film student, comes to the light. Yeri, who has made a short film about Red Light District prostitutes, wants to create a film about "sex volunteering" based on her own story.
