Mot 2014 / 못 2014 / Secret Pond

MOT portrays how a small mistake snowballs into a bigger tragedy coupled with misunderstanding and hatred. Hyeon Myeong, Seong Pil, Doo Yong and Gun Woo decide to spend a night in the 'mot', their secret hideout, to celebrate their last winter vacation as teenagers and Seong Pil's sister, Kyeong Mi's birthday. The party goes on through the night, and Gun Woo and Kyeong Mi decide to take a walk into the village, but they end up in a motorcycle crash. As they don't come back for a while, the rest of the children set out to look for them. Later, they find Gun Woo's motorcycle abandoned and Kyeong Mi's body, stone-cold dead, lying on the street. At the sight of his sister, Seong Pil goes wild and beats Gun Woo to a pulp. Because Gun Woo goes missing, only the other three friends graduate and go their own ways. Four years later, Hyeon Myeong, who was also at the scene, leaves the army and returns to his neighborhood. His friends welcome him back, but he does not want to see them because he has not yet recovered from past suffering. Eventually, they have to face the truth of the event that happened that night...
