SYNOPSIS

​

Past Lives  (2023)

​

​

Celine Song’s acclaimed directorial debut Past Lives is a poignant romantic drama spanning 24 years, following childhood friends Nora and Hae Sung as their bond evolves across continents and lifetimes. Separated when Nora’s family emigrates from Seoul, the two reconnect as adults, only to find themselves caught between memory, longing, and the divergent paths their lives have taken.

​

Starring Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro, the film quietly explores fate, identity, and the Korean concept of inyeon—the ties formed across past and present lives. As Nora, now married and living in New York, reunites with Hae Sung after decades apart, the trio navigate the emotional terrain between “what was,” “what is,” and “what could have been.”

​

Hailed as one of the best films of the decade, Past Lives earned widespread critical acclaim, global accolades, and multiple Academy Award nominations. A tender, deeply human story, it invites viewers to consider how the people we meet shape us—across years, oceans, and perhaps lifetimes.
