The word “mimang” has several meanings in Korean. One, being unable to understand ignorance. Two, being unable to forget what you want to forget. And three, searching far and wide. In filmmaker Kim Taeyang’s Seoul debut, the camera observes in three parts the changes in time, space, and characters that align with the aforementioned definitions. Filmed in Seoul over four years, the film vividly captures the changes in the characters and the city – specifically the historic Jongno area – during a couple’s walks through the streets (of memory).
