Program Note
There are some people who doesn’t come back. The left one is to admit the absence and wait for the day to embrace it. Woo-joo (Kang doo), who filled the role of Dae-jeong, his company boss who was lost in a ship accident, comes to Osaka and seems to have seen someone who looks like Dae-jeong. Woojoo misses the flight to Korea after chasing him while being drunk, resigns in a fit of anger, and prepares to perform with Haruna (Hori Haruna), who lost his mother in the East Japan earthquake until he finds Dae-jeong. He recounts the joy of music, a dream forgotten and regained while preparing for the performance. Those who lost their precious people in the disaster embrace what they left behind. It is an epic of growing up that remembers what is precious to them by accepting the loss. Watching the Ferris wheel of the city spinning, the subway passing, and the clouds moving slowly, the young man who has lost the track of life has restored the collapsed mind. Baek Jae-ho who directed We Will Be Ok (2014) and Lee Hee-sup, director of photography in How to Break Up With My Cat (2016) have co-directed this film that we can think about loss and growth and dreams at a slow pace.
