synopsis

A film poem in which human consciousness intertwines with the element of water. The leitmotif flowing through the entire work is memory, the eternal clash between the urge to look back and the awareness of space and time ahead. The river flooding the film not only gives it a temporythmic structure but is also a reminder of the eternal natural order.

 

"I made this film to reconcile with myself in the past who couldn't fully like myself for a long time. I would like to dedicate this film to all who have the same experience." Ji-Yoon Park
