The three best friends Sang-Won, Seung-Jun and Min-Wook all headed in different directions after secondary school. One is a student, the other is not completely ready for university and the third is in the army.
One year after the graduation ceremony, Sang-Won and Seung-Jun set off to look for soldier Min-Wook. They have a Dear John letter for Min-Wook from his girlfriend. In the snowy village by the military barracks, they relive their friendship with the aid of lots of drink, snowballs and two prostitutes. The three boys, in many regards still novices, lose money, a camera and part of their innocence.
Kim Tae-Gon finds a subtle balance between melancholy and humour in this Korean coming-of-age drama with a laugh (when all kinds of things go wrong for the clumsy kids) and a tear (when one of them is disillusioned about one more thing).
