Program Note
In a quaint British-style tea room, an elderly couple enjoys a leisurely afternoon playing a word puzzle game. The film begins with the husband's grumbling monologue directed at his wife. Who designed this game board, and will the expected answer soon become a twist? The camera continually only focuses on the tea room and the word puzzle on the table, keeping us intrigued about who will ultimately declare ‘game over’ without a hint of boredom. The film shines with its subtle pace and the witty twists and turns, perfectly mirroring the elderly protagonists. (Kani KIM)
