Seoul, in winter. Under virgin snow, a gallery owner has his heart set on the assistant of a director friend. Or indeed one may say that Soo-jung, seduced by this prosperous gentleman, took the lead? The two parts, divided into numbered chapters, seem to repeat the meeting by swapping the viewpoint and the insecu- rities from one to another. Suggesting that, when the individual points of view create parallel worlds, above all, power lies in the truth. (AT)Hong Sang-soo
