Synopsis

Two estranged classmates reunite to confront traumatic middle school memories of social hierarchy and a mysterious figure named Chul.

After facing a devastating personal crisis, 30-something Kyung-Min reaches out to his former middle school classmate Jong-Suk, whom he hasn't seen in 15 years. Jong-Suk, now working as a ghostwriter while harboring dreams of becoming a novelist, reluctantly agrees to meet. As the two men reconnect, they find themselves revisiting their difficult middle school days, when they were both part of the lowest social class—derisively labeled as "pigs" by the school's ruling elite known as "dogs." Their shared memories center around a mysterious figure from their past—a student known as Chul, who emerged as a powerful presence among the marginalized group. Through their conversation, the two men confront the lasting impact of their school experiences and the complex relationships that shaped their youth. As Kyung-Min leads Jong-Suk back to their old school grounds, long-buried memories and emotions resurface, forcing both men to grapple with the shadows of their past and how those formative years continue to influence their present lives.
