Cinema Gwangju is the first theater in the Honam-region and the only theater that opened in 1935. The cinema has screened films in its original place up to these days. A musician Gonne Choi invites the seven musicians to share "Gwangju-ness" from her own perspective and they visit the cinema to speak and sing about their own "Withstanding and Existing". This documentary also contains the story of the painter Park Tae-gyu, who continuously has been working on hand-painting movie posters from the 1990s until today.
Sawol who sings arrives in an unfamiliar land at the invitation of someone. Sawol slowly builds a life for herself in this strange place. Sawol and the people living here speak in different tongues but they don’t have any difficulty communicating. Then one day, Sawol finds a poster for an auditon in a café and writes an email. She listens to music as she walks, organizes her thoughts and writes songs, and continues to repeat the mundane things that make her day worthy.
