Peurangseuyeoja

After living in France for decades, Mira heads straight to Seoul, fleeing the abrupt end to her marriage in a Paris cafe. Except for Mira, time becomes a funny thing. She enters a bathroom and slips in and out between 2015 and 1997, until perhaps, a sudden phone call in the dark wakes her. As Mira wanders back and forth in time with the foggy confusion of jet lag, she meets her former classmates–now a successful filmmaker and theater director–and stares curiously at the vulnerabilities of her age: a thwarted acting career, peers who have surpassed her, an unfaithful husband, a nervous rekindling of an old flame. Drinking endless soju at a timeless bar, the friends relive glory days or wrangle tensely about acting, art, and sex, encounters which for Mira toggle between an animated past and a relinquished present. Through it all–strange visitors at night, a shoulder pain, an insistent phone–there’s something that Mira can’t quite place. (San Diego Asian Film Festival)
