Kwon, a language school instructor, stops by her old workplace and receives a thick envelope addressed to her. A Japanese instructor named Mori had proposed to her two years ago. She turned him down. Mori had immediately gone back to Japan, but now was back in Korea looking for her. The envelope enclosed letters he had written to her during his search through Seoul. After Kwon finishes the first letter in the lobby, she grows faint coming down the staircase and drops the letters. She gathers them off the floor and sees there are no dates on the letters. She now has no way of knowing the order in which they were written.

Viewing Notes
Checking out another Hong Sang-soo flick before it expires and it’s only an hour long!
Didn’t quite understand what was happening until I had to reset the MUBI app bc it’s so janky on my tv. Gave me a chance to read the synopsis which the description here doesn’t mention. A woman drops all the letters from her boyfriend then sits down to read them out of order which is shown in the flashback scenes. Completely non-linear that makes for an interesting viewing.
