Past Lives (ENG SUB)

Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo), two deeply bonded childhood friends, are torn apart when Nora's family emigrates to Canada from South Korea. Twelve years later, Nora is studying in New York and the two reconnect via the internet. They fantasize about seeing each other again, but the distance diminishes their contact. Another twelve years later, Nora is now married and is reunited with her childhood sweetheart during a pivotal week, when he visits her in New York. In her debut film, playwright Celine Song explores notions of fate, love, and the thin line between the life we live and the life it could have been. 'Past Lives' became the big surprise at the Berlin and Sundance film festivals earlier this year.
