A Werewolf Boy
Love was the first human language he'd ever learned.
Directed by Jo Sung-hee
Produced by Bidangil Pictures, Silk Road
A tender, melancholic memory piece about a woman's transformative childhood bond with a feral werewolf boy, told through the lens of decades-long longing.
An unexpected phone call brings an elderly woman to her childhood country cottage, and memories of an orphan boy she knew 47 years ago come flooding back to her.
