SynopsisOne Sunday afternoon, while waiting for a pizza to be delivered, Chulsoo, an unknown actor, and his wife Sookhi read a script that reminds Sookhi of how boring her daily life is. Her sister Jaehi drops by for a visit, also with a script. As she reads it with Chulsoo, Sookhi has a feeling that something is beginning to brew between the two.
Director's StatementWe can assume that we need theater – or fiction – because our life is boring somewhat. I sometimes imagine there is a hidden camera in front of me, or an invisible stage under my feet which shows my boring life to some unknown audience or God. And I can imagine many people like me on their own stages or before the hidden cameras, striving to be somebody. Every ordinary person is so unique when he has a chance to be passionate. If theater shows characters more passionate or even aggressive, it is because we want to see ourselves differently, from other angles. In that sense, “Where Have The Sisters Gone?” can be a film about the relationship between life and theater, I think.
