In Our Day

The South Korean drama film, 'In Our Day', is a poignant exploration of life, art, and friendship, featuring a small but compelling cast of characters. At the heart of the story is actress Gi Ju-bong who portrays the enigmatic Ui-ju, a woman in her forties who recently returned to her home country after years abroad. Kim Min-hee, known for her captivating performances, takes on the role of Sang-won, Ui-ju's loyal and empathetic friend.

The narrative of 'In Our Day' weaves together two distinct storylines. The first follows Ui-ju, who, after her return to South Korea, is staying with Sang-won and her cat. As she navigates her reintroduction to her homeland, Ui-ju grapples with the complexities of her career, relationships, and identity. Meanwhile, the film introduces the character of an aging poet, played by an unnamed actor, who has been suffering from declining health. Following the loss of his beloved cat, he lives alone, his once vibrant life now pared down to the essentials.

As the story unfolds, both Ui-ju and the poet receive a visit from young aspiring artists, each seeking wisdom and guidance on their journey. These unexpected encounters force the older characters to confront their past, present, and future, as they grapple with questions about the meaning of their work, their lives, and the very essence of their existence. Through these interactions, 'In Our Day' paints a vivid picture of the human experience, delving deep into the complex nature of relationships, artistic expression, and personal growth.
