SYNOPSIS
I’ve been living in Seongnam since my birth. Walking on the street reminds me of my scattered memories and movies. These streets and my memories are changing rapidly nowadays. These changing images overlap my ill mother.
DIRECTING INTENTION
I found an old camcorder at home by accident. There was a tape inside. In the video, my father was filming my mother, my brother and me. I thought it could be the letter my father never wrote but sent to me. I decided to write him back with this 6mm camcorder he left behind. The film starts with a picture of my mother. Her memories with my narration overlapped encompass the past, present and future of my mother and Seongnam. This is the testimony of my personal note. It’s about memory and space.
