Waiting for Happiness

   Seventeen years after the suicide of a schoolmate, two women have a chance encounter at her grave. What follows is an exploration of life in a small town. As their story unfolds, we learn that though their circumstances are very similar, they themselves are not. Yejin, a devout Christian from an early age, takes care of her sick mother and younger sister. While Seoyoung, a product of her time, contends with a broken father. Following their last year in high school we are pulled along as they navigate their individual hardships, their dreams, and the despair that comes with growing up in a place of dead ends.
