Winner of numerous international festivals, a two-time Oscar nominee, and one of the best films of the 21st century according to IndieWire.

Two deeply connected childhood friends, are separated from each other when Nora’s family emigrates from South Korea. Two decades later, Hae Sung resolves to visit Nora for a few days in New York where she lives with her American husband Arthur. Facing each other like the phantoms of a life unlived, they confront notions of destiny, love and the choices that constitute a life.
