"We planned an exciting trip so the three of us could go places together."

Three ex-idol singers go on a belated 'school trip', something they could not do when they were in school.

"I used to be a singer. An idol singer. (Why are you harvesting tangerines here?) We need money."

But the excitement of the first trip of the 26-year-olds does not last long.

"It was rough, wasn't it? It was rough for all of us. We worked hard, only looking ahead, not knowing where we were going."

This film sends a gentle message of hope and consolation to young people faced with the tough circumstances of reality.
