Homecoming LoveHomecoming Love

 In this ‘love story’, there is no outside. What is revealed in the personal relationship experience is the inner side of the characters. The film represents what he sees, and the world over his shoulders. In other words, there is no neutral point of view. Faces are usually hidden. Ironically, in the position of the speaker “I” can present both subjectivity and objectivity as “I” is a Korean-Japanese. Having lived in Japan for 18 years, he came to Korea, the only country where he is not a foreigner. But the romantic relationships he has experienced push him into strange categories. A Korean Na-rae and a Japanese Misaki leave conflicting questions. “Why are you there?“ What is ‘there‘ meaning in this question? He hovers around the outer side like an inverted lining. The face lets us look inside. The old things handed down from contradictory positions and perspectives are disclosed as restored ruins. However, there is nothing to be lonely about. Just as restoration relies on the barely remaining pieces of stone, love stories in the past are romanticized from time to time depending on present memories. (PARK Chi-young)
