A Distant Place, Park Kun-young, (Korea, 2020)
Nothing is what it seems when one looks at things from the distance... Jin-woo resides on a sheep ranch in Hwacheon and lives a seemingly peaceful and idyllic life with his niece Seol. The ranch owner, Joong-man, and his daughter, Moon-kyeong, treat them like family. One day, Jin-woo's friend Hyun-min comes to the ranch and reveals that the two have been lovers for a long time. They dream of living happily with Seol in this peaceful place. However, the visit of Eun-young, Jin-woo's twin sister and Seol's mother, unleashes conflict. With a delicate and precise direction that will remind us of Francis Lee's God’s Own Country, A Distant Place is a rural drama about the forbidden love between two men and the consequent rejection by their community.
