Not One and Not Two

SEO BoHyung

Not One and Not Two illustrates an intersecting story of Young-mok, ill with an unknown disease, and his artist girlfriend Seon-hwa. The story follows Young-mok’s intense Zen practice as he attempts to reach enlightenment before his death, and Seon-hwa’s latest art project and her frantic search for inspiration. Oscillating between the two narratives, the film poses the question: while individuals are not the same, are they not so different, either?
