From the Director of "Take Care of My Cat"
Soyo, a quiet high school student, discovers inline skating. Mesmerized by
the elaborate skating skills of Mogi, a member of the group, Soyo joins their
team. Soyo's life is gradually consumed by the world of inline skating. He
develops strong feelings towards Mogi and his girlfriend Hanjoo and a loyal
faith in the team's leader Gappa.
One day, Mogi reluctantly agrees to skate for a commercial in order to earn
money for the world championships. But when a condescending remark by
the staff sets him off, he deliberately causes an accident. The accident
leaves the inline team in huge debt and all the members are frantic to try to
find the money.
Director Jung Jae-Eun
--------------------
Born in 1969, JEONG Jae-eun is one of the first graduates of the School of
Film & Multimedia of the Korean National University of Arts. Her feature debut,
< Take Care of My Cat >, was invited to almost 40 international film festivals,
nominated VPRO Tiger Award at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam.
In < The Aggressives >, she attempts to reproduce the more powerful and
energetic world of young men, dangerously weaving in and out of a place
where fantasy and reality coexist and narratives flow along effortlessly. While
< Take Care of My Cat > followed the subtle emotions of women and
focused on their growth, < The Aggressives > is a stronger urban piece that
puts emphasis on the powerful energy of "youth".
