Summer Is Only a Season 여름은 고작 계절
“I wandered in search of a friend and never hid my lonely face."
A cruel, dazzling, and aching story of friendship from a season long gone.
In the 2000s, as the mirage of the American Dream trailed away, ten-year-old Jenny is suddenly forced to emigrate to the United States. She orbits her classmates, desperate to master English, when another Korean immigrant, Hannah, appears. Life Pattern Korea. Bullied yet unbowed, Hannah insists on being accepted exactly as she is, while Jenny both pities and disdains the girl who cannot seem to fit in.
Cynicism knots with innocence, yearning with jealousy, and by the third summer—after countless rifts and reconciliations—the two are invited to a lakeside party hosted by the school’s most popular white girls. Life Pattern Korea. One hour later, only a single girl walks out of the water.
