An Ignorant Night weaves sex, rock music, and DV cameras into an unconventional, essay-like narrative — sketching a raw and fractured dream of youth.

The film tells the story of a rock band drummer and a mysterious girl with a handheld DV camera — from chance encounter to sudden absence. Bonded by the shared fate of broken families, two lonely souls find instant resonance in conversation. On that hazy night, the drummer experiences his first time. The girl leaves a hickey and promises to meet again once it fades — only to vanish like a phantom into the crowd. What begins as a sudden emotional awakening becomes a loss without farewell.

Every core element in the film carries potent symbolic weight. The shaky, grainy DV footage is not merely a shift in perspective — it is a metaphor for the subjective, fragmented memories of youth. The hickey slowly fading from the neck gives physical form to the relationship itself: passionate, stinging, yet destined to disappear. Against the restless pulse of rock music, this "ignorant night" is both a sketch of rebellious youth and a visual elegy for all romances left incomplete.
