In the summer of 2012, Kyutae’s only friend, Young, disappeared, leaving behind a message: "Gliders can fly without engines. Isn't it cooool?" After that day, Kyutae began to see flying gliders in the sky all the time during morning assembly, in the classroom, even when he went to sleep. Then one day, a real glider fell from the sky and landed right next to him.

Solbum Lee draws on paper, using a pencil and watercolor. This work takes him a great deal of time. Little by little, the images lead him toward a narrative, which he shapes over time to turn it into a story. Through trial and error, he has found a way of working that feels true to him. In his films, he uses techniques that give the impression that small watercolor sketches are coming to life. He seeks to evoke the nostalgia of a slower time.
