In Water
Do you know the man from a far away land who swam far out to sea?
Directed by Hong Sang-soo
Produced by Jeonwonsa Film

A director, a cinematographer, and an actress spend the days leading up to a movie shoot together on-location, waiting for the director to come up with an idea for what the film will be about.
