Based on two manga by Yoshiharu Tsuge, this film‑within‑a‑film contrasts a summer romance between Yūmi Kawai and local Natsuo with the wintry story of screenwriter Li (Shim Eun-kyung), creatively blocked and searching for connection alongside innkeeper Benzo. A work as profound and delicate as snowfall from Sho Miyake (SMALL, SLOW BUT STEADY). Free Member Monday — free admission for all AFS members on Monday, August 10.
