Award-winning filmmaker Lee Chang-dong (BURNING) returns with this highly-anticipated, quietly devastating drama of yearning, envy and grief. Ho-seok and Mi-ok (Sul Kyung-gu and Jeon Do-yeon) are struggling to rebuild their lives after a labour dispute ends in tragedy. When ambitious young filmmaker Ye-ji (Cho Yeo-jeong, PARASITE, CIFF 2019) invites them to participate in her latest documentary, they become entangled with her and her powerful businessman husband, Sang-woo (Zo In-sung).
As the cameras roll, buried wounds and simmering resentments surface, raising uncomfortable questions about who has the right to tell another person’s story and who gets to speak for the disenfranchised. With subtle, accumulating force, POSSIBLE LOVE explores class, power and the uneasy boundaries between empathy and exploitation.
