Synopsis

In a future society where academic success is the only measure of worth, human connection has vanished, and friendship has disappeared. Yoon, a timid boy who still holds warmth in his heart, meets Suzy, an AI robot. Through their unexpected bond, Yoon realizes that what he truly needs is not achievements but companionship—and with Suzy’s help, he dares to open the tightly closed door between himself and the world, stepping into life with newfound courage.
