Amanza

Amanza leaves in the middle of his job interview. He's a cancer patient. He initially went to the hospital because of back pain; instead, he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. He wonders how he'll tell his friends and family and practices what to say. \"Mom, I have cancer.\" \"Let's break up.\" Had he known he'd get cancer at 27 years old, he wouldn't have lived like this. He then starts to think of all the things he's given up on.

On his first day of chemo, Amanza calls up his high school friends whom he hasn't seen in years. They were once in a band called Sevree. He asks them to accompany him to the hospital. As they go, they exchange memories from the past. Before they know it, they arrive at the hospital, and he goes in for his first session. As the drug seeps into his veins, he's transported into an unknown world where a new adventure welcomes him.

On his 27th birthday, Amanza goes back home for the first time in a month. As he takes a trip down memory lane, he reminisces about his first encounter with Min Jung. It all started with a yellow long-sleeved shirt. This is Amanza's first birthday as a cancer patient. His family and friends capture the moment on their phones. It's as if it's his last birthday. As if he isn't going to be around for his next birthday. That's how everyone cherishes the moment.

When Amanza opens his eyes, he's in the cancer ward. He's disappointed as he didn't think he'd be back so soon. He begins to come to grips that he really is a cancer patient. His brother, Dong Yeon, who left home two years ago, comes to visit. Amanza takes advantage of this opportunity and asks his artistic younger brother for help. If Amanza is going to lose his hair anyway, he might as well do it in style.

Min Jung takes a day off work to see Amanza. It isn't easy as millions of thoughts swirl through her mind and threaten to overwhelm her. She starts to wonder about how things will end for them. There's nothing she can do for her boyfriend, but she hopes he will continue to hang on. She also hopes that her well-meaning thoughts will somehow reach him and comfort him.

A patient beside Amanza screams in agony. Amanza is scared, knowing that this is what awaits him in the near future. Or maybe he's scared that his life might end without having served any purpose or meaning. That he'll die without having achieved anything significant in this world. At this point, all he wants to do is just go home.
