Gi-hyun Jo

One day, father collapsed. Gi-hyun Jo, who became the Caregiver at the age of twenty, had a father who was a construction worker in the past, specifically a plasterer. Despite his memory being significantly diminished due to dementia, the father's body still remembers the labor. With 1 bag of cement, 10 kg of sand, and 100 bricks, the father and son decide to build a wall. Looking at his son's sketch, the father asks, "What's this for?” The son replies, "This is just a structure."

In the movie, the father and sun’s building takes on a revival in this exhibition. Just like the father's question, the structure is created in the most ""useless"" form without considering any purpose.
