Waiting for the Delight

환희를 기다리며

Synopsis

Late at night on a quiet campus, a janitor named Delight meets Winter, a dance student who practices alone in the studio. Concerned, Delight offers Winter a place to rest at the janitorial lounge. In return, Winter makes an awkward proposition: she will teach Delight to dance if she can stay in the lounge for just one more week. Through movement, they share space, distance, and a fragile connection that wavers between them. Will their dance be able to continue?
