The World of Love

  • Yoon Ga-eun

Seventeen-year-old Jooin is a perfectly normal teenager. Confident, popular, loud, full of life, energetic, dramatic. But behind this facade, Jooin hides something unspeakable. A traumatic experience, a wound. She is determined not to give the trauma any room and not to become a victim of her wounds. For a while, she succeeds. But when she loses control in a fit of rage in front of her classmates, the truth bursts out. This changes the perception of those around her, but also her own.

A group of highschool stduents wearing school uniforms are laughing together in a classroom. In the middle there is a girl, wearing sunglasses and dancing. Some of the others are filming her with their phones.

DIRECTOR

  • Yoon Ga-eun

    It is the lives and experiences of girls and young women that Yoon Ga-eun (born 1982) portrays in her films. How they are perceived in and by their surroundings plays a central role, without the characters being reduced to their traumas.
    Before Yoon graduated from the School of Film, TV & Multimedia in Seoul, she completed a degree in history.
