TRAILER

Overview

On the day sending her husband to a dementia care home, Hyunjoo decides to kill herself as well as her spouse as she´s aware of her early signs of dementia. Having driven to a quiet forest, Hyunjoo tries to put the plan into practice but her husband never listens to her and Hyunjoo seems unprepared.

Review

The film slowly follows a wife whose husband has dementia in the middle of a forest in the summer full of life. Her eyes, breath, compassion, and behavior contain several meanings. When you watch the couple to the end, you will encounter the greatness of life's journey. This is a beautiful rendition of how life is going on like an unsolvable puzzle. (LEE Hyung-suk)
