Off Campus Location
Award winning debut movie of director Cho Hyun-Hoon.
Runaway So-hyun (Lee Min-ji) ends up alone after her boyfriend Jong-ho leaves her.
By chance, she meets Jane (Koo Kyo-hwan) a transgender woman who welcomes her into her family, a community of runaways, and together they look for the missing boyfriend.
Unfortunately, Jane’s health deteriorates and the group splits so So-hyun ends up alone again.
“The ambiguous nature and non-linear structure of the narrative might perplex some viewers as director and screenwriter Cho Hyun-hoon deliberately makes the film abstract, following a more unconventional and innovative route, seeking to convey not necessarily the causes of such alienation, but rather its impact on young people without homes to go to, or families to depend on.
