Synopsis

A girl meets a boy at the video shop. They fall in love as if they are destined to be. Time flies, spring comes and so their love grows. One day, so suddenly, the girl recognizes the nose hair of the boy while they kiss each other. It starts irritating her very much. She tries to ignore it but it starts bothering her more and more. In the end, she ends up avoiding him. After spending days alone, she encounters a puppy also called 'kido' by its master which reminds her of her boy. Then she realizes how much she loved him and how irrelevant were those minute parts which have been getting her. The story ends as she runs back to her boy.

Director's Comment

I wanted to talk about the point of view. As we may connect a picture of drought with dry-skinned hands, I presented the boy's nose hairs as worms in the girl's eye which disgust her. The symptom worsens to extreme. A puppy is seen as a monster to her, while it is such a lovely companion to its master. Then she realizes; such tiny flaw may be next to nothing compared to her lover as a whole. We may face hardships and difficulties as we live on but I want to help people recognize our surroundings and companies with more appreciation.
