This 15-minute documentary centers on a question I pose: "How to Stay Honest?" Honesty is widely regarded as a vital virtue in modern social interaction, yet let's be honest—maintaining it consistently is no easy task. Almost everyone, at some point in life, tells a white lie—even while firmly believing in the value of honesty.
Through a lighthearted, humorous approach and a vlog-style cinematography, the film follows my journey through streets, parks, matchmaking corners, bars, and my grandmother’s home, capturing spontaneous encounters with people and situations. In doing so, it playfully yet sincerely explores where we might find a space for absolute honesty, and what it truly means to be an entirely honest person.
