Past Lives

Celine Song writes and directs this romantic drama starring Greta Lee, Teo Yoo and John Magaro. 20 years ago, 12-year-old best friends Na Young (Lee) and Hae Sung (Yoo) were forced to part ways when Na Young's family emigrated from Seoul to Toronto. Now the pair have reconnected via social media but are living very different lives. Na Young goes by the name Nora and is living in New York with her husband Arthur (Magaro). Arthur is sympathetic to the complex feelings that arise when Hae Sung tells Nora he will be visiting New York and would like to meet, encouraging her to do so. When Nora and Hae Sung finally reunite after two long decades, Nora must decide whether her nostalgic longing is enough to propel a romance between her and her childhood friend, or whether to leave Hae Sung in the past and remain content in her new life.
