Synopsis:
Yoon-Hee lives with her teenage daughter Sae-Bom. On a winter day, Yoon-Hee receives a letter from Otaru, Japan. Sae-Bom accidentally reads the letter and learns about her mother’s first love, which she never spoke about before.
Quick Thoughts:
This is a beautiful queer film. Yoon-Hee’s daughter instigates the reconnection of two lovers from years ago, which brings to life a lesbian romance left in the lover’s pasts. The pacing is rather slow and meticulous; this will either bore you – or slowly draw you in. However, it’s the cinematography that really shines alongside the story. The winter scenes are accented among long wide shots that interestingly remain rather intimate. This queer foreign lesbian film may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s an enjoyable watch that differs from other queer Christmas films.
