Foreign/Drama | Directed by Hong Sang-soo
Opens in theaters March 24

Hong Sang-soo’s 28th feature comes to select US theaters a month after his 29th (In Water) premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival. The incredibly prolific filmmaker has once again found a clever way to explore familiar themes as each vignette of the story plays out on different floor of a Seoul apartment building. The characters include Byungsoo (Kwon Haehyo), a film director, his estranged daughter Jeongsu (Park Miso), and the building’s owner (Lee Hyeyoung), an old friend of Byungsoo. Wine is the lubricator of truth in this Hong outing, as every flight of stairs leads to a new life.
