“I will marry him,” says 12-year-old Na Young about her best friend Hae Sung. In reality, her family soon emigrates from Korea to the USA, and she won’t see her first love until 24 years later, when she will have changed her name to Nora, gotten married and become a moderately successful writer. The two meet, and the life they could have spent together sparks so bright that almost burns them both, as well as Nora’s husband.

Shot from Past Lives, 2023

“Past Lives” is a glorious date movie, and a movie for every occasion, too.

— Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

The thoughtful, heartfelt film by Celine Song is not your standard romantic drama. The director is interested in the burden of past affections that almost every adult carries with them.

On 13 March, the screening will take place as part of the Oscars 2024 at GES-2 film programme.
