A young boy, An, believes in reincarnation, obsessively searching for his “past parents”. Meanwhile, his actual parents’ marriage is crumbling. An’s behavior adds pressure to the family where An’s father tends his own incapacitated parent at the expense of his wife and son. Stresses force An’s mother to leave home with An, but the deadlock isn’t resolved until An’s obsession with a “former” seaside home offers the family an unexpected chance for reconciliation.
The story meditates on what brings a family to inception, disintegration and reunion, as the camera’s soothing gaze allows life’s pain and pleasure to slowly unfold. Underneath honest and profound observation lies the question of how memories play a part in blood ties. No matter how external conditions change, what remains unchanged is love itself.
Available Formats: DVD, Blu-ray and DCP
