This animation depicts three pieces of
traditional Korean stories told by the
filmmakers of Green Days.

The first film, When the Buckwheat Flowers Bloom, is the story of
Heo Saeng-won, an old market seller.
After a long day of peddling his wares,
Saengwon and friend visit an Inn where
they meet Dong-I. Over the course of
the evening the three generations of
vendors form a special bond.

Spring Spring sees a field labourer
who has been promised the hand of
his master’s daughter in marriage. Yet
every time the servant looks to claim
his would-be-wife, his master comes
up with an excuse. Finally tired of being
denied his bride the servant challenges
his master to the ultimate match.

The last of the trilogy is A Lucky
Day
which features a rickshaw driver named Kim. His wife has fallen ill and
looks to earn enough money to make
her well again. He finds himself unusually flush with customers but doubt and
fear creep into his mind as he contemplates the consequences of his good
fortune.
