A touching and evocative portrait of postwar trauma in a country desperate to move on from its past.
A young soldier is deployed to a nursing home for former veterans in South Korea. Outside, the world is determined to forget the horrors of the Korean War, but inside, the residents are still haunted by history. Inspired by personal experience, director Jinkyu Jeon has created an empathetic and eye-opening short that captures the double consciousness of PTSD, showing how horrific memories can continually intrude on the present.
