"Don't Look Back" screening at PUSAN WEST
[2006/126min/35mm/color]
The film consists of three stories that are loosely linked together. It is about three young people whose lives are thrown out there in uncertainty. Jung-hee, a 21 year-old college student and a lover of dance, is confused when her father comes back after fifteen years of absence and finds it difficult to accept him. 25-year old Keun-woo is a telephone mechanic who enjoys eavesdropping while at work. He is confused when he falls in love with a woman he has been eavesdropping and 30-year old Inho senses that his wife has changed when he comes home on his last leave of absence from military service. The film depicts the confusion and wandering of these characters as they try to navigate through to find their place in the world. What will be waiting for them at the end of their journeys through life?
