Review

Eva is a film editor who lost his friend Juan, who used to work with her on a filmmaking project. She lives her daily life and works her editing job, but she cannot find the right words to put her feelings. To accept the absence of someone who was part of one's everyday life—it includes more than physical death. It includes bringing an end to the value system: to the trust and work routine grown out of collaboration, the conversation that sprinkled the banal days, and the time spent together, to name a few. How can one determine the way to mourn a loss? As they say in the movie, to make a film is to get to the past and have the past find us. They mourn their friend through filmmaking. For them, filmmaking was part of everyday life with Juan; it was also a node for them to reconnect to the world with Juan. One world closes its door and becomes part of memory; we keep living because the memory will come back to find us. (Sung MOON)
