The Smartphone Films Series 3 Three former high school best friends gather for a steamboat dinner just to catch up. As the dinner went on into the night with beers and wine thrown in things get complicated as one of them has a hidden secret that no one wants to know in their present situation.
Director's Note
A short film inspired by the works of Korean auteur Hong Sang-soo set in a dinner scene where we examine the complex relationship dynamics between the three characters. The short was scripted but with input and improvisation from the casts to deliver a raw and realistic performance of everyday rambling of drunken & hopeless people.
