Korea / 2015 / 99 min. / Director: LEE Hyun-ju
Fine arts graduate student Yoon-ju enters a store seeking materials for her graduation project, and meets Ji-soo. After bumping into each other again at a convenience store, they start going out. Eventually, Yoon-ju becomes completely besotted with Ji-Soo, and discovers emotions she never felt in her relationships with men... LEE Hyun-ju’s feature directorial debut, a graduation project for the Korean Academy of Film Arts (KAFA), is an unembellished and unflinching portrayal of a love story that unfolds between two women. The artistry it employs in superbly capturing the subtle emotional fluctuations of its two protagonists offers ample proof of LEE’s talent. Grand Prize winner in the Jeonju International Film Festival’s Korean Competition. Also screened at the San Sebastian International Film Festival.
