Try to Remember synopsis: The audience meets three shy girls who fluently sang songs in English without even knowing the language, through the remembrance of Min-ja in the film.

Poliboy synopsis: It is about time that we meet the students from the 1980s who are now in their 50s. This documentary is, by no means, to replay their heroic stories of the time. Rather, it is to reinstate their lives that have never been recorded anywhere.
