Synopsis
A boy holds on to the old phone that his father left behind. As loneliness grows in the wake of everyday moments, a meeting with his friend, Min-woo’s father gently opens the boy’s heart.
Purpose
I lost my father at an early age, and my childhood was filled with feelings of loneliness and longing. Thanks to the warmth and care of the people around me, I was able to keep moving forward without losing myself. This film was made with those memories and emotions—a reflection of the love that helped me carry on with my life.
