Small Fry

Ho-joon auditions for a leading role in a commercial film called "Canary," but he fails miserably. An unknown actor nearing his 40s, Ho-joon enjoys fishing, and runs a fishing YouTube channel that has become his main source of income. The day after his failed audition, he goes to a pay lake to shoot one of his YouTube videos. There, he bumps into Director Nam, the very person who turned Ho-joon down at the audition, as well as the actress Hee-jin who has already been cast in the other leading role. Director Nam has come to the lake to clear his head after arguing with the production company over casting. Ho-joon still hopes he can get hooked to star in Director Nam's film. Hee-jin, on the other hand, sees little of interest in the character she is to play, but feels obliged to take the role because of its commercial potential. These three people-each of them wrapped up in their own problems and aspirations-spend the day together fishing, not knowing what's on the other end of their lines.
