Synopsis

Going to an obstetrician is not a big deal, but what if you saw one of your friends go there? You¡¯d probably think she has been ¡®knocked up¡¯. And a lot of teenagers don¡¯t have enough knowledge about contraception, even though they think getting pregnant would be a nightmare. The directors became curious: what is wrong with these teenagers¡¯ sexuality? So they set out on an investigation of their own. They visit convenience stores to buy condoms and interview Ms. Ku Seong-ae, a famons specialist in sex education. They sift through statistics and observe sex education classes. In their investigation, the directors uncover several uncomfortable truths: that teenagers are locked into a conservative sex-culture; that they are being given superficial, meaningless sex education; and that they familiarize themselves with sex by watching porn. Through these facts, the directors came to see society¡¯s double standard for sexuality, and its pretentious attitude toward sex. In the end, this film turns out to be an insolent(!) question that reveals the insolent(!) attitude of the grown-ups, who explain that ¡®beautiful encounter¡¯ with ¡®flowers and bees¡¯. (KANG Seol-hwa)
