In a clash bet­ween two fami­lies, class dif­fe­ren­ces, moral con­vic­tions and secret desi­res are laid bare. Following the vio­lent end to a strike, Ho-seok and his wife Mi-ok try to get their lives back on track. But when the young, ambi­tious film­ma­ker Ye-ji enters their lives – intent on docu­men­ting the sto­ry of this labour dis­pu­te in a docu­men­ta­ry – sup­pres­sed anger and hurt resur­face. At the same time, Possible Love explo­res ques­ti­ons of artis­tic and per­so­nal respon­si­bi­li­ty, wea­ving them into a com­plex, mul­ti-per­spec­ti­ve cha­rac­ter study.

‘Verdict: The mas­ter­pie­ce of the cen­tu­ry, Burning, is one of tho­se films that lea­ves you won­de­ring after­wards what on earth could pos­si­bly come next. With Possible Love – his second abso­lut­e­ly bril­li­ant five-star mas­ter­pie­ce in a row – Lee Chang-dong pro­vi­des an impres­si­ve ans­wer.’ Christoph Petersen | filmstarts.de
