Bloody Reunion

In a secluded countryside home, Mi‑ja has taken on the quiet, demanding role of caring for her former teacher, Ms. Park, who now lives with a lingering illness far from the bustling school halls of her past. Their days are marked by simple routines—morning tea, whispered reminiscences, and the slow rhythm of a life slowed by time and frailty. Yet beneath the tranquil surface, the house holds the weight of many unspoken years, a place where memories linger like dust on an old blackboard.

Sixteen years after graduation, Mi‑ja extends an invitation to a handful of the teacher’s former students, hoping to stitch together a long‑overdue reunion. The guests arrive with a mixture of nostalgia and apprehension, each carrying their own half‑remembered grievances and the faint ache of days when they felt overlooked or misunderstood. Old friendships flicker, old wounds throb, and the veneer of cheer conceals a simmering undercurrent of unresolved tension that has been left to fester in the quiet years since they last gathered. The setting—a modest farmhouse surrounded by fields that have seen both harvest and hardship—provides an intimate stage for these disparate lives to intersect once more.

The film’s tone balances the wistful melancholy of remembrance with a creeping sense of unease, as the characters navigate the fragile line between shared history and buried resentment. Shadows lengthen across the porch, conversations drift between laughter and silence, and the audience is drawn into a world where the past refuses to stay buried. With each exchange, the possibility of hidden truths surfacing hangs in the air, promising that this reunion may reveal more than just fond recollections, inviting viewers to wonder what secrets lie dormant beneath the familiar faces of a once‑beloved teacher and her former pupils.
