Synopsis
Juhee (Kim Joo-ryoung), a professor of theater, is diagnosed with a possible malignant tumor at the hospital. She goes back to school and tries to settle her affairs but many people come to her lab out of the blue. In the meantime, the film intersects the story of Ho-jin, Juhee’s husband and theater director. However, while the two stories intersect, there is an increasingly unusual atmosphere in the movie, and with only the time axis left 'from 5 to 7,' the film opens up a fascinating chapter, making all the boundaries hazily. Director Jang Kun-jae completes Juhee′s inner story by scattering the boundaries between the story in the film and the content of the play, and the reality and dreams Juhee has. Kim Joo-ryoung, who played Minyeo in the popular drama series, Squid Game, gives a powerful performance that stands out. HONG Eunmi
