Other name: 정말 먼 곳, Jeongmal Meon Gos, Jeongmal Meon Geot

Description:

A Distant Place delves into the serene life of a man living on a remote sheep ranch, dedicated to raising his daughter. Their tranquil existence, supported by the kind ranch owner and his daughter, faces a profound shift with the arrival of the man's male friend. Their reunion reveals a deep, long-standing romantic relationship, and a shared aspiration for a happy family life with the daughter in this peaceful setting.

However, the calm is shattered by a visit from the man's twin sister, exposing a buried secret: the daughter is, in fact, his sister's child, entrusted to his care after her disappearance. As these truths unfold, the seemingly friendly local community reacts with exclusivity and discrimination towards the two men. Even the trusted bonds of family begin to fray, as true intentions become unclear. Like the Gangwondo landscape transitioning from beautiful autumn to harsh winter, life becomes challenging. Yet, amidst the prejudice and personal turmoil, the film suggests a persistent glimmer of hope.
