Program Note

​ Within the romantic comedy storyline, this work is commendable for its attempt to blend SF and musical elements, genres not commonly found in Korean films. A robot, resembling its owner and possessing a love for jazz and audio, encounters an abandoned robot in the neighborhood. The subtle nature of the robots shines through the performances of the two actors, who skillfully convey the challenging task of expressing emotions as wounded yet mechanical beings. Through art and cinematography, the film portrays a dream-like representation of a dark near-future, emphasizing the unique journey of isolated characters coming to accept one another.
