Synopsis
In 2012, three middle school friends—Mu, Gguk, and Hanna—spent the summer at the Yeosu World Expo in their hometown. The next year, an explosion at the Yeosu industrial complex killed six workers, including a classmate's father. Though they grew up in the same city, three friends took different paths and are now approaching their thirties. Our Complex explores how memories and friendships shape them, and how the city's dreams and wounds are intertwined with those who live there.
