Saem (2018)

Other name: 샘, Sam

Description:

Saem introduces us to Ma Doo Sang, a man whose heart leads him to Seoul in a determined search for his first love. His journey, however, is complicated by a rare and debilitating condition: face blindness, or prosopagnosia, which makes him incapable of recognizing faces. Every new encounter presents a challenge, as individuals appear indistinct to him, blurring the very feature he seeks.

To establish himself in the vast city, Ma Doo Sang secures work as a delivery man for a vibrant Chinese restaurant. This new role immerses him in the daily life of Seoul, leading to unexpected interactions. The true emotional complexity of his quest unfolds when he encounters not one, but three different women. To Ma Doo Sang’s eyes, each of these women remarkably resembles his cherished first love, making his pursuit an intricate puzzle. Saem delves into his struggle to identify his true beloved amidst a sea of familiar yet indistinguishable faces, forcing him to look beyond mere appearance.
