Min-ah discovers a scarlet covered diary as she is hurrying to
school. She has a brief hallucinatory experience when she opens
it, initiating a series of strange occurrences which eventually
draw Min-ah into the eerie world of the diary.
In her desire to read more of the contents of the diary, Min-ah
feigns an illness, getting permission to lie down in the school's
clinic. There she witnesses the reunion of Hyo-shin and Shi-eun.
The day at the girls' high school is half over, and the students
are preoccupied with the trauma of getting their physical checkups.
Their hustle and bustle is abruptly interrupted by a sharp scream
which announces Hyo-shin's death.
While various rumors surrounding this death spread throughout the
school, Min-ah continues to follow the trails left behind in the
diary's writings. And like the inscribed incantation, 'Memento Mori'
suggests, she senses Hyo-shin's ghostly entity which seems to linger
in every corner of the girls' high school.
-'Memento Mori,' or, 'remember death' in Latin, is the incantation
that sadly ordains a dead student's diary. The death of the girl
who was neither child nor adult is recalled through this spiritual
dialogue.-
