Kwon works as a language tutor at
a school who stops by her old workplace and picks a thick envelope containing a number of undelivered letters
addressed to her. Two years previous
Kwon was involved with a Japanese instructor she worked with named Mori
who declared his love for her and proposed. Undecided about how she felt,
Kwon turned him down. Defeated Mori
immediately returned to Japan and at
some point he returned to Korea looking to win Kwon’s heart. The letters enclosed in the envelope are from Mori
while he was searching all over Seoul
for his love. Kwon reads the first letter
in the lobby but she grows faint walking down the stairs and accidentally
scatters the letters. Collecting them she
discovers that none of the letters are
dated so cannot place them in the correct order. Will not knowing when each
of the letters was written change the
significance of what they say?

Hong Sang-soo, the master of
subtlety and the everyday, returns with
this sweetly, sentimental story of the
remembrance of a past relationship.
Told through a narrative that weaves
in and out of the past and present the
director rejoins with actress Moon So-
ri (Hahaha) and Seo Young-hwa (Oki’s
Movie) and first time Kase Ryo (Letters
From Iwo Jima)
