A small room at the edge of winter, facing the heart of the cold season
This is a story capturing the days of Taesu, who spends the winter in a small makeshift room with his father, holding onto the emptiness left by his mother’s departure. Through Taesu’s perspective and voice, we experience the sensation of enduring a winter that chills to the bone and heart, standing alongside Taesu in the midst of winter. This is the third story by Lee Younga, following 『Convenience Store』 and 『The Boy』, known for tackling heavy themes with a calm narrative style. The profound resonance of Lee Younga’s stories stems from her dedication to honestly depicting the stories of marginalized children who often find themselves in the shadows rather than in the sunlight of society.
