Director Gi Gukseo and the actors, who are affiliated with a theater company Gukdan 76, begin to rehearse Samuel Beckett＇s Endgame. The actors, including Gi Jubong, Gi Gukseo＇s brother, are all experienced and professional, but the process is not so easy. The director closely analyzes and develops the emotional interactions between the audience and the actors, and gets tough in coaching from time to time, to which the actors respond with earnest consideration. The film shows how a play is staged, filling itself with delicate and impressive moments. It is interesting to watch in the sense that it easily blurs the border between the world on stage and the one off it by presenting the director＇s vigorous coaching and the actors＇ proficient facial expressions and body gestures.
