Movie director Sunmi shoots a short film in pine trees. The movie is about a little primary school girl named Yeoni. She was raped by a gorgeous looking stranger who asked her directions in the pine forest. Staffs of the film even make a bet on the story expecting truly based on Sunmi's personal experience. After the shooting, the unexpected and surprised truth comes out in the pine forest.

When I was sitting in a car and looking at pine trees through car windows, there was news of child rape on the radio. At that moment I had a thought that good things can't be evergreen, but evil things is always. All the crimes in the world are green for all seasons. And how horrible, the victims still suffer from their pain and wound to overcome so badly. I hope they get over all the tragedy, and move on.
