Back Then
Directed by Junhyeok Kim
Haneul greets his parents and heads to college. While in a taxi to New York, he finds an old, crumbled wrapper tucked into his belongings. As Haneul embarks to adulthood, the old taxi driver shares his old memories back in Korea, which sparks Haneul’s diminishing childhood memory 12 years ago—his first school year, first friend, or perhaps—his first love. Flashing back to Grade 1, Haneul meets a Spanish girl named Patricia. As the only foreigners at the elementary school, they soon become close friends. However, an unforeseen circumstance brings a longing threat to their relationship.
