“여자애가 무슨 바이크를 타?” 바이크를 열망하는 영주는
가족의 반대에 부딪혀 아무것도 하지 못한다.
그런 영주 앞에 영주의 아빠 용석이 무턱대고
‘할리 데이비슨’을 사서 나타나는데 ...
Young Joo's heart beats whenever she sees a motorcycle.
However, it is not easy to ride a motorcycle in the atmosphere of the family
that ignores Young Joo just because she is a daughter.
One day, Yong Seok, Young Joo’s father, recklessly buys "Harley Davidson" and brags to Young Joo.
Being upset with his boast, Young Joo buys a motorcycle secretly from her family
and is placed in unexpected situations...
바이크를 타고 싶어하는 주인공 영주,
그가 바이크와 동시에 자신의 인생에 시동을 거는 영화입니다.
가부장과 마초의 상징인 할리 데이비슨을 가볍게 비웃고
좋아하는 길을 향해 달려가는 이야기를 만들고 싶었습니다.
영주처럼 어지러운 시대를 살아가는 여성들이
‘보다 좋은’ 가치를 계속 추구하며 살았으면 좋겠습니다.
It’s a movie about Young Joo who wants to ride a motorcycle.
The new life begins as she starts the engine of the motorcycle.
I wanted to make a story about the woman who simply laughs at Harley Davidson,
the symbol of patriarchy and machismo, and runs toward her future.
I hope all women of the chaotic present time like Young Joo
will continue to pursue "better" values.
