In Our Day

Story

Hong Sangsoo portrays two encounters between different generations in his maybe most autobiographical film to date. Actress Sangwon (Kim Minhee) is living temporarily at a girlfriend’s. There, she meets a cousin of her friend who is also hoping to become an actress. Somewhere else in Seoul, a conversation takes place between the withdrawn poet Hong Uiji, a filmmaker and a young admirer. With skilful juxtapositioning of storylines and subtle humour, the film focuses human idiosyncrasies.
