Nice to See Your Face

Short showcase

SYNOPSIS

Eden is driving down the road when the engine fails and her car comes to a stop. Eden calls Haewon and tells him she wants to see him before she leaves Korea, but Haewon keeps saying he just can’t come. The hot summer heats up the road and Eden’s wish to say a proper goodbye does not seem to be coming true.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Even in times like these, when it has become difficult to meet face to face, some things need to be said in person. Against the backdrop of the pandemic and in a place where no other face can be seen, I wanted to convey the atmosphere of the summer of 2021.
