Dear you, unrelated is a contemporary project that dares to believe in the potential of fiction. Directors Lee Mi-rang and Lee Jong-su attempt to imaginatively restore the lost ending of The Widow. In The Widow: Rewoven, Lee Mi-rang reimagines the protagonist Shinja making a radically different decision from the original. Her film captures the inner turmoil and determination of a woman once dismissed as an Après-girl, tracing her hesitant yet resolute steps toward a new path. In Bearer of Dawn, Lee Jong-su presents a fictional scenario in which Shinja seeks revenge by finding a blacksmith. A newly added sequence in which she chooses a sword shifts the film's tone from drama into one infused with the suspense of a thriller.

A film constructed like a music piece. A girl and a boy walk in the streets of their city. They both look lonely. The streets are almost devoid of people. What are the two looking for? They continue walking and it looks like they must somehow or somewhere cross each other’s paths.

The landscape of a town somewhere emerges on the screen—the riverside, a street, a clothing store, a barbershop, an amusement park, an ally, a graveyard, a cafe—as a woman with a camera appears in the frame, filming.

Small nightly monochrome silent landscapes to observe and enter another time to feel how everyday transforms through the gaze.

A young man writes in a motel room at night, while people go about their business outside in the cold winter streets of Seoul, anonymously crossing paths. A venture to visually interpret the sense of the words of the short story ‘Seoul – 1964 – Winter’, through an experiment in the five senses.

Around two o’clock in the afternoon at the park, a woman is reading a book on a bench. Meanwhile, a bird flies on a tree, the clouds cover the sun, a cat grooms itself, the waterwheel spins, pigeons rest on the pavement, a man loiters in the corner of the lawn, a butterfly flutters from flower to flower, the fountain gushes, carps swim in the pond, and ants go about their business.
