Choi Sung Eun will take on the role of Marie, the female lead in the film. Marie, who is a Korean-American woman in her 20s who immigrated to Belgium when she was a child, is a character who has no hope for the future and always thinks it is okay to die tomorrow. She’s a former national team shooter who lives with pain as she cannot escape the trauma of her mother’s death in the past.
