Determined to trace her mother's steps to Mars after her failed return to Earth, Nan-yeong is selected for the 4th Mars exploration project in 2050. Je-i, voiced by rising star Hong Kyung ("Hear Me: Our Summer", "Weak Hero Class 1"), is a musician who also repairs retro audio equipment. After their first encounter, an old turntable that Nan-yeong inherited from her mother brings them together again by fate, sparking a wistful, sweet romance that transcends the distance between Earth and Mars. Writer-director Han Ji-won-I, known for her innovative short and mid-length animations and advertisements, also penned the screenplay for this film. Her recent short film, The Sea on the Day When the Magic Returns, was selected for the Sundance Film Festival, elevating her status in Korean animation.

Synopsis
[Martial Law Night, Lightsticks in the Square]
In The winter of 2024, martial law is declared in South Korea. Yet that night, citizens take to the square, holding candles and idol lightsticks as they peacefully resist. Martial law, impeachment, anger, song, and once again, people uniting. We seek to preserve the voices of those who defended democracy in this era, by our own hands.

[Light Bloomed from Blood] 
Modern history, especially the democratic revolutions and civil resistance against corrupt power. How have the paradigms of struggle and revolution transformed in contemporary times? What significance do they hold today?

[Festival and Revolution]
From that night, when armed soldiers and heavy security could not break people's spirit, to the lasting glow of the square through the turning of the year, the unwavering lights. Resistance through festival, struggle through song, this past winter's citizen movement is itself the history of South Korea.
