Synopsis

In their late twenties, Jaehee and Jungwoo are colleagues working at a video production company. While working on a project related to caregiving, they meet Ahyeon, Jaehee's neighbor. Meeting Ahyeon stirs a part of Jaehee's heart and memories.

Program Note

Winter in life arrives too soon for some. This film delicately and deeply portrays the reality of youth caregivers, teenagers caring for ill family members. The protagonist, Jaehee, meets her neighbor Ahyeon through a video project centered on caregiving, which leads her to confront memories of her father. Sounds echoing through a dream of passing through a tunnel, ringing in her ears like water trapped behind the eardrum, guide Jaehee back to past emotions. The endlessly repeating time faced by a youth burdened with an adult¡¯s incurable illness intersects with complex memories of family love. Her journey toward the sea breaks through the bleak reality toward refreshing freedom. (Lim Sae-eun)
