Synopsis
Every morning at 8:12, Min-jae and Soo-ah stand on the same platform at Hapjeong station. Neither has ever noticed the other. Between them runs a thin red thread that is visible to the audience and to nobody in the film.
A year of seasons, all near misses: the same umbrella, the same paperback, the same late train. The thread pulls tight and slackens with every small choice either of them makes.
The old legend says the thread cannot break. It says nothing at all about how long it can stretch.
