Synopsis

After a weird dream ends with “Pick up the phone”, Anna gets a call saying “I will let you meet your soulmate”. Then she meets Noa and at first sight, she is convinced that Noa is the one and falls in love. One day, Anna gets another call from the same number again, and the relationship between Noa and Anna starts to crack a little by little.

Program Note

Anna lived a lonely life until she received a phone call that led her to meet Noa, her meant to be partner. At first, it seems like they are equally happy, but as time passed, their temperatures as lovers begin to diverge. This film is like a melancholic and sad essay for those who experience the feeling of being in love, particularly those who feel more passionate than the other. Although set in summer, the directing powerfully evokes the feel of a cold winter in every scene. (SONG Eunji)
