SYNOPSIS

Sophie, a foreign woman, stays in Korea for a while on her way to see her sister in the Philippines. She stays for four days at Suyoung and Jonggu’s house where Mountain Inwang can be seen. Two years later, Suyoung finds a photo of themselves on Sophie’s blog by coincidence, and gets a chance to look back at the four days that the traveler Sophie had recorded.

DIRECTING INTENTION

One day, I was looking out the window at Mountain Inwang from home and felt a little strange.
I wondered how long that mountain have been gazing into this place, and the thought made me sad. Another day, I climbed the mountain and looked at my house. The house seemed infinitely small. I felt as if I was looking at the house from the perspective of the mountain, and experiences like these became stepping stones for the film. I wished to recreate my personal inspiration I had at home and the mountain into a film.
