SYNOPSIS

Myeong-im packs clothes and food before departing for Paengmok Harbor. She heads to Jindo Island, leaving behind the familiar scenery that she has passed countless times over the past decade. She arrives at the temporary container building with the rusty signboard written ‘Truth does not sink’, unpacks, and organizes her surroundings. The other parents who have come also start to get organized. The camera captures the memorial hall, and the stories of the parents. About waiting, about protecting the old, cold, lonely Paengmok Harbor.

DIRECTING INTENTION

The film focuses on the lives of the Sewol Ferry victims' families, who desperately hope that the world will not forget this tragedy. By confronting the daily lives of families who must continue living despite the pain of loss, the film steps back from the social politics surrounding the disaster to explore the fundamental nature of farewell.
