On the Moments We Missed — “Permanent Weekend(working title)"

— Moments when hearts, unable to reach anywhere, gently collide.

Lost emotions.

Stories we never found the words to tell.

And a fleeting, unexpected encounter.

“Permanent Weekend (working title)”

quietly follows the young souls adrift

in the vast city—souls that have been

standing still, waiting for something,

or someone, to pass by.

Sookyung (Yeri HAN), Sangsoo (Sihyung YOO), Chakyung (Minji LEE), Jongsu (Sunyong MOON), and Juhee (Juhee PARK).

Each carries their own fractured memories,

their own timelines, yet somehow, naturally,

they find themselves sharing one weekend,

one small space, as if they were

always meant to cross paths.

One day, while mourning the novel he

never finished, Sangsoo picks up a

small business card off the street—

on it, the words: “On a rainy day.”

When he dials the number,

Sookyung appears at his door.

Their meeting isn’t about desire.

It isn’t rushed, or even romantic

in the usual sense.

There are no promises, no futures to plan.

They share instant noodles, drink tea,

watch the trees outside the window.

They simply exist—together, here, now.

And slowly, almost imperceptibly,

doors once tightly closed begin to creak open.

Elsewhere, Jongsu returns to

the neighborhood of his childhood.

He seeks shelter at his cousin

Chakyung’s home.

They repaint cracked walls.

They gather around a small

kitchen table, sharing laughter.

And in those simple acts,

Jongsu slowly lays down the burdens

he couldn’t speak aloud.

When he leaves again,

he does so without a word.

Those who remain pick up the quiet pieces—

and begin small, precious conversations

of their own.

 

“Permanent Weekend (working title)”

captures the texture of ordinary time—

the kind that passes almost unnoticed,

the kind that feels like a day from your own life.

“I’m not going to die.

I’m going to go back.”

Like Sookyung’s whisper at the edge

of a rooftop, we are all, in our own ways,

longing to leave—only to find ourselves

quietly returning.

And maybe, someday, to love again.

Through drifting landscapes

and forgotten moments,

“Permanent Weekend (working title)”

never loses its emotional pulse.

Shot on warm, raw analog film,

it brings back the living emotions

we sometimes leave behind in a digital world.

This is a story about people—gently,

carefully reaching for each other.

And now, we’d like to invite you into that story.

Into your own quiet weekend.
