Two kids are best friends and possibly more, but her family emigrates from Korea to the US. The rest of the story takes place 20 years later, when she’s married and he comes to visit her in New York (clearly still carrying the torch). Not only are the emotions subdued, but filmmaker Celine Song has imbued the film with the same constrained style…lots of long pauses and quiet staring. Even with the deliberate pacing and muted undertone, there’s a quiet tension that makes their frustrated romance gently compelling. (Some dialogue in Korean with subtitles)
