Plot

In the middle of the night, a man reports a missing person to the police office... himself. He has lost his memory. He can only remember from the moment he found himself left alone in an apartment. He tries to find any clue as to who he might be, but nothing comes out. When he plucks up the courage to go out, he meets a girl at a psychiatric hospital, who he thinks might know him. Instantly she becomes his only hope and joy, but when he returns, she has disappeared. Then his attempt to find someone who remembers him becomes greater than his need for his own memories, transforming into a quest to reconnect with a lost love.

Cast

Production

Yoon-jung Lee wrote and directed a 25-minute short film titled Remember O Goddess in 2010, which originally starred Kim Jung-tae and Choi A-ra in the lead roles. When Lee wanted to expand the short into a feature-length film, she turned to crowdfunding website Kickstarter in May 2012.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Lee initially asked for an investment of US$30,000, but 272 individuals donated a total of US$32,293.[13] It was also chosen as Indiewire's "Project of the Week" on May 8, 2012.[14]

Reception

The film grossed US$2.05 million on its opening in South Korea.[1]
