Grass

Streaming video - 2018

In the corner of a small café, Areum sits typing on her laptop. At the tables around her, other customers enact the various dramas of their lives. A young couple charge each other with serious crimes, an old man tries to rekindle a flame with a younger woman, a narcissistic filmmaker works to put together his next project—all while Areum types. Is she merely writing what she hears? Or is she hearing what’s been written? As the dramas inside the café unfold, the plants outside grow taller. Nominated for the C.I.C.A.E. Award at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. *"One of the best expressions/variations on Hong's usual formula." - Simon Abrams, **RogerEbert.com***
