The Day He Arrives
Drama
A film director who no longer makes films arrives in Seoul to meet a close friend. When the friend doesn't show up, he wanders the city aimlessly for three days, grabbing drinks and meeting women, with each day playing out like a version of the last.
VIBE
A quiet, contemplative drift through Seoul's streets. It feels like a long, aimless walk with an old friend, punctuated by drinks and existential musings. The city itself becomes a character in this melancholic, introspective journey.
