Roman (2019)

Other name: 로망, Romang

Description:

Roman is a deeply moving film centered on Jo Nambong, 75, and Lee Maeja, 71, a couple whose 45-year marriage faces the profound challenge of dementia. Mentally and physically alike, their shared condition creates a world where they are the sole inhabitants, living in a bubble of two. As their everyday memories increasingly blur and fade, an extraordinary transformation occurs. The youthful romance they once shared, long buried under decades of life and forgotten, begins to resurface with astonishing vividness and clarity. This compelling narrative beautifully explores the enduring power of love and memory loss. It portrays a unique journey where the erosion of recent recollections paradoxically reignites the foundational passion of their lifelong bond, celebrating a timeless connection that transcends the limits of the mind.
