Review
Director Park Jeongmi has nothing to do with the film industry. She dreamed of becoming a female military officer, but failed to fit in and left after three years of service, then lived a repeating life as a worker day and night. When she got close to the age of 30, she left for London with a working holiday visa to seek a new life. She was lucky enough to find a job, but after being laid off due to conflict with her boss, she suffers from depression and financial hardships, and finally makes a reckless decision to live without money. She decided to record this “reckless decision” on camera. Realizing that it is possible not to spend money on sleeping, eating, and transportation, the insights on way of life expands through. Traveling from Europe to India, she explores the world without boundaries and opens her eyes to the truth that “everything is connected as one”. This reckless film is not just an exciting travelog, but a journey of a wonderful individual who wants to live the life she desires, since we all happened to be born anyways. (CHUN Jinsu)
