Program Note

Soon to be married, Eun-su heads to Gangneung to see her long-lost father. The old seaside town has changed dramatically from the one in her childhood memories. Exhausted from the sweltering heat of August, Eun-su gets into a taxi. The compelling direction that evokes certain emotions and ambience and the nuanced performances of the actors creates this heartfelt journey through time. (KANG Sowon)
