A Korean singer lands in foreign soil and builds a life from silence—no subtitles needed for this feeling.
Sawol who sings arrives in an unfamiliar land at the invitation of someone. Sawol slowly builds a life for herself in this strange place. Sawol and the people living here speak in different tongues but they don’t have any difficulty communicating. Then one day, Sawol finds a poster for an auditon in a café and writes an email. She listens to music as she walks, organizes her thoughts and writes songs, and continues to repeat the mundane things that make her day worthy.
Direction
Chung Jin-soo treats silence and foreignness as characters, not obstacles.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kim Sawol is an actual Korean indie musician; director Chung Jin-soo built the entire film around her unscripted daily rhythms and real compositions.
The film quietly mirrors Korea's 'honsul' culture—drinking/eating alone—reframed as radical self-sufficiency rather than loneliness.
