The feature debut of playwright Celine Song wowed critics when it premiered at Sundance early this year. Taking place at three distinct periods separated by 12 years, this soulful exploration of love and fate follows the evolving relationship of Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo) as the childhood friends are separated when Nora’s family emigrates from South Korea to Canada. Song based the film on events from her own life, resulting in an honest and touching film that could wind up battling another A24 release, The Zone of Interest, for the title of 2023's highest-scoring film.
