Introduction (2021)

Other name: 인트로덕션, Inteurodeoksyeon

Description:

"Introduction" presents a compelling narrative exploring themes of connection, coincidence, and introspection. The story begins with a young man summoned by his doctor father but finds him preoccupied with patients, including a famous actor, necessitating a wait. This initial encounter subtly foreshadows the interwoven nature of future events.

Later, the plot shifts as his girlfriend moves to Berlin for her studies. The young man surprises her in the city, discovering she has found lodging through her mother at an artist's home, where the artist's striking beauty proves somewhat intimidating. This relocation marks a significant chapter in their lives.

The narrative culminates when the young man joins his mother for lunch, only to be introduced to a colleague who is, surprisingly, the same actor he encountered earlier at his father's clinic. Accompanied by a friend, he subsequently visits a cold beach. There, a dream of his girlfriend leads him to bravely enter the icy waters, completing a journey of self-discovery amidst life's unexpected turns.
