Synopsis

Areum and Minjoo have been best friends since they were five years old. One day, Minjoo suggests playing a game called the “jamji flower game.” Areum is intrigued by the new game about “becoming a pretty flower” and follows Minjoo to his home. Minjoo takes a series of dresses out of his closet, changes into the most flamboyant outfits, and begins to act strangely...

Director's Comment

Many say they have had “strange experiences” in their childhood. That experience is the moment when you first become aware of sexuality and is an important process that influences your perspective and standards of sexuality throughout your lifetime. However, many people don't pay much attention to it, often misjudging that it isn’t much of an importance. Yet, that is more so the reason why we should pay more attention to this “strange experience”.
[JAMJI FLOWER] provides an opportunity to recall childhood memories again with such 'childhood sexual experience' as the main subject; and also to think about what kind of thoughts and standards children have now, and what the 'first' of sexuality that children will experience in the future should be.
Through the eyes of the curious young main character, the youthful story unfolds, while at the same time, the camera captures the point of view of an adult looking at them, creating a scene as if they were looking at their own childhood to the audience. We want to express the feeling of a nostalgic old memory with realistic, but dreamlike artworks; and especially want to give the audience a feeling of being invited and participating in the play by using a follow-cam in the direction of the scenes.
