Other name: 빛나는 순간, Bichnaneun Sungan, Bitnaneun Sungan, Shining Moment

Description:

Everglow delves into the profound, dual nature of Jeju, an island renowned for its breathtaking beauty yet scarred by deep historical pain. Over half a century ago, the specter of ideology led to the slaughter of tens of thousands, a tragedy echoed more recently by the heartbreaking loss of students who never reached its shores. The film introduces Kyung Hoon, a filmmaker arriving in Jeju with the initial goal of creating a documentary about Jin Ok, a resilient female diver. What begins as a straightforward project, exploring the daily life of a diver, soon transforms into something far more profound. As Kyung Hoon uncovers the island's layered past and its untold stories, his work evolves beyond mere documentation. His camera becomes a powerful conduit for remembrance, turning his endeavor into a sincere mission to honor and give voice to the countless souls buried within Jeju's deep seas and its majestic mountains.
