Celine Song | English and Korean with English subtitles | Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, John Magaro
Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends, are wrest apart after Nora’s family emigrates from South Korea. Twelve years later, Nora, now a playwriting student in New York, reconnects with Hae Sung online; they begin talking frequently, and even imagine a reunion. But another dozen years pass before they finally meet over a few fateful days in New York. An aching, deeply romantic debut feature from playwright Celine Song, with spellbinding performances from the three leads, this is a love story told across three moments in time, exploring the Korean notion of ‘In Yun’, how our fate is driven by our connections in previous incarnations.
Please note that Audio Description and Soft Subtitles are TBC.
