Synopsis

The film tells of the inner journey and search for self at the age of 18. Eighteen-year-olds are confused; they do not know what to do and have no goal or direction. On the surface they are all at school, but inside they are a "beat generation". Under their parents' scolding and pressure, they choose to escape and go out every day with their "buddies" to indulge themselves wildly. But one cannot escape forever; what must be faced must be faced. With the advice and guidance of friends, self-indulgence becomes a search for self. In the midst of confusion the protagonist finds himself and finally understands his parents' scolding. In the end he returns home and opens up to his parents.
