Trophy
덩어리들
Synopsis
Unable to deliver a layoff notice to his senior colleague, Hanjung goes to Euljiro to make a trophy in place of the words he cannot say. There, he works with Seyoung, a craftsman who communicates only through written notes. As they work in silence, a blue ball—once tied to memories of his senior—begins to bleed into reality, gradually taking on a life of its own. On the night the trophy is finished, Hanjung stands before the now immense ball and slowly gropes toward the words he has long been unable to speak.
