Synopsis

This is the story of a zombie frog who learns about true friendship and love through his friends. The story of the ‘Zombie Frog’ children’s book begins with a grandmother telling the story of the origin of Lotus Village. In the fairy tale, the main character girl is turned into a zombie frog by her mother's hysterical curse. And as it continues into the real world, a fantasy story continues in which Harang, sisters Yedam & Chaeun discover a ‘zombie frog’ children’s book while playing hide and seek, and are sucked into it. The zombie frog and Harang, who met in the zombie frog storybook, share their own wounds and become friends, and the story ends with Harang overcoming his wounds and the zombie frog sacrificing himself for his friends.

Director's Comment

In ‘Healing the Wounds of the Inner Child’, it is said that the problems in all relationships do not come from the outside, but are due to the disconnection of the internal bond between the inner child and the adult self within oneself. “Only by becoming a parent who gives love to your inner child at every moment can your inner child finally believe that he or she is truly a lovable being.” In this way, we must continue to live by saying and acting that we love ourselves. It is also sad that we have to work hard to learn what love is and what it means to give that love. If we had grown up in a family full of love, or if our parents had shown loving behavior toward their children, we would have learned this naturally without having to study hard. But we didn't grow up that way. Therefore, we must strive to break off the dependent relationships that bring suffering in life. Through the process of the zombie frog girl and Harang, who each have their own scars, becoming friends, I would like to convey a message of encouragement that they can take responsibility for their ‘inner child’, love themselves, and find happiness.
