📖 Story
When childhood friends reunite after two decades, they discover that some connections transcend time itself. Past Lives captures the aching beauty of a weekend where Nora and Hae Sung confront the roads not taken and the lives they might have lived. Their story isn't about rekindling what was lost—it's about accepting that destiny often speaks in the language of goodbye. A tender meditation on love, fate, and the choices that ultimately define who we become.
