Synopsis

​ When 11-year-old Eunjo picks up an abandoned guitar in a rural village, she desperately wants to fix the broken strings and play a certain song, but it's a two-and-a-half-hour walk to the nearest town. She asks her dad to take her, but he's not happy that she's interested in music instead of studying.

Program Note

​ A girl stumbles upon a discarded guitar on the street, missing one string. This seemingly inconsequential moment sets off a journey to find replacement strings, which unexpectedly transforms into an extraordinary adventure. The film does not dwell on this sentiment. In an age where convenience is just a click away, Between Us stands as an earnest anthem to the purity of passion that may have faded away. Aware that all six strings are necessary to play the guitar, the girl defiantly strums the instrument with one string missing. This moment echoes the initial stumbling and awkwardness we experience with music and first love. (Lee Yongcheol)
