Review

Young-gil's mother, Deok-ja, has passed away. When he goes to her house to sort through her belongings, Young-gil finds a laptop. He logs into a game Deok-ja had installed. As Jun-soo, his son, helps him work through the game, he is reminded of Deok-ja's wish to go somewhere. Playing the game, the family comes face to face with an older woman's nostalgia recreated online. Appropriate to the form that it has taken, the film expresses grief toward a lost loved one and emotions like regret without becoming too heavy. (CHO Hyun-na)
