A true coming of age story, Arrival follows one boy's journey into adulthood, and the complicated relationships that go with it. The plot follows a boy growing up with his mother in the countryside, who then journeys into the big city to follow his dreams. All the while the two communicate by sending polaroids back and forth to each other, sharing their now completely different lives. Along the way he meets another boy with whom he is determined to share his life with. The main character becomes stuck in a cycle of indifference rather than standing up and coming out to his mother. The story of the film pulls from Myung's past relationships. It portrays a uniquely modern LGBTQ couple, exploring the highs and lows that come with feeling guilty for loving the right person.

This movie is sensitively filmed, with an excellent soundtrack and nice animation. The fact that the author draws on his own experiences and has revealed a lot gives this short movie a certain vibe, and even without words, it manages to say quite a lot. This movie is one man’s tribute to friends and family. At the same time, it portrays someone struggling with his life and sexual orientation, a common subject matter and not so shocking in these days of political correctness. However, in this movie, it is portrayed in a very human and relatable way. Even for a person who is by no means someone who looks for this subject matter, it is entirely understandable and believable. 8/10.
