Synopsis

Five girlfriends in their early twenties live in the grim harbour city of Incheon. The core of the group consists of the beautiful but vain Hae-Ju, the artistic Ji-Yeong and Tae-Hee, a rebel. They have just finished secondary school, but are not quite ready for life as mature women. The girls dream of a life abroad, far from the grey city of Incheon. Hae-Ju is the only one with a good job: she works for a stockbroker and has a relationship with an older colleague. When she realises her dream and leaves for an apartment in Seoul, the other girls are left behind, stunned. But the departure of Hae-Ju also has a good side, because without the selfish Hae-Ju, the friendship between Ji-Yeong and Tae-Hee is really able to blossom.
