The unexpected demise of the shipbuilding industry in South Korea has caused a huge restructuring in Geoje, the center of this once powerhouse industry. Soon one third of the population of Geoje will be unemployed. The six high school students training to become bookkeepers with shipbuilding companies face an uncertain future. However, the students find joy and sustenance by joining a competitive dance team, a place to focus their energy. Each must face their own challenges. Hyeonbin ran away from home and works part-time to make a living. Eunjeong doesn’t have time to practice at home because of her five younger siblings. Siyeong and Jihyeon must watch their fathers as they voluntarily resign from working at the shipyard. The competition is coming soon and the practice gets more difficult. This is the story of a proud community struggling with dramatic decline and provides an interesting focus on high school students whose respite is dancing the cha cha cha.
