Our Sunhi

Award-winning director Hong Sang-Soo (In Another Country) directs this South Korean comedy-drama about identity. It follows Sunhi who returns to college to see her teacher. While there, she meets old friends, all with bold opinions on who she is and what she needs.

"The titular heroine of Our Sunhi (Jeong Yu-mi) is the sun around which all of the film's supporting characters orbit. An aspiring filmmaker who is considering moving abroad to continue her studies, Sunhi becomes the object of desire for three different men, two of them older, ostensibly wiser mentor figures, the third an annoying but well-meaning ex-boyfriend. As Our Sunhi progresses, via extensive, alcohol fuelled conversations, each of these men will make some headway toward their goal of becoming Sunhi's lover — though no one of them knows to what extent the others share that goal." (Toronto International Film Festival)

Sang-Soo won the Silver Leopard award for Best Director at the 66th Locarno International Film Festival for Our Sunhi.
