Tracing on the life of two boys who have the same taste and still be happy in a place where they can't say out loud, and keep connection through the MUSIC and LOVE. Until one day, one of them suddenly make a departure like the meaning of the song they loved.
Uhm Ha-neul, a Korean director captured a new heartfelt story of two boys at a senior high school in Daegu, South Korea last 30 years ago. Kyung-Hwan (starring by Shim Hyun-seo) and Jae-Min (starring by Hyun Woo-seok) love the same Japanese song "Departure" by "GLOBE". While listening Japanese music and watching BL animation on internet is blocked and forbidden in South Korea.
They usually spent time together at school to share their favourite Japanese music through the same music player at a space where is free from all historical pages between Korea and Japan, in the mean time Korean LGBT community is deleted from majority and they are struggling to exist their own identity.
On the first snowy day, they appointed to meet and separated on the same bus. Jae-Min never answered why they liked to stay and protect Kyung-Hwang. A Japanese album Jae-Min returned him had a message he wanted to tell him. 30 years later, he found it and reminded to his lost memories in a "missing era" and motivated him back to Daegu again.
Like the Taiwanese film "Your Name Engraved Herein" and Thailand's "The Love of Siam", LGBTQ in Korea is shaping and gradually developing, the director dropped a plot at the end when Kyung-Hwang living with his husband in Seoul and his mother accepted their relationship. But no one knew when legalized marriage will actually happen in South Korea.
"404 Still Remain" (너와 나의 5분) make its Japan premiere in Osaka Asian Film Festival on March 2025, to make a question about the bordeless love and LGBT movement in South Korea. (inStyle Asia)
