Synopsis

In a world where gravity grows stronger every day, a married couple, Ki-cheol and Mi-young, struggle to move their increasingly heavy bodies. They set out for work and a prenatal check-up. Despite the growing burden, they head out—one to work, the other to a prenatal check-up.

Program Note

In a project by the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company, 'dance and musical, music and everyday life' converge. The mere fact that a dancer—whose movements resist gravity—appears in a film themed around the 'weight of life' adds deep significance. Few films capture so well that life is a continuous cycle of movement and stillness. As the dancers express with their entire bodies from waking to the day's end, the music supporting them is equally impressive. Modern jazz with intense beats and smooth rhythms, as well as ambient pop, harmonize with the constantly changing background art and lighting. (Lee Yongcheol)
