Oki's Movie

In the heart of Seoul during winter, we meet struggling short film director Nam Jin-gu. He is portrayed by Lee Sun-kyun and is depicted dealing with both personal and professional challenges.

On his way to a screening of one of his films, Nam is confronted by his wife, Jang Su-yang, played by Seo Yeong-hwa. Their conversation is filled with tension as she expresses concern about his drinking habits, creating an uneasy atmosphere between them.

As Nam reflects on his turbulent marriage, he starts to interrogate whether his wife might be involved with another man named Yeong-su. This suspicion exacerbates his struggles, leading him to a deeper introspection.

Nam recalls a discouraging conversation with his former film professor, Song, played by Moon Sung-keun. The professor's belief that filmmaking is now a lost art weighs heavily on Nam as he navigates his own aspirations.

During a dinner event with his film school faculty, tensions erupt when Nam, influenced by alcohol, confronts Professor Song about rumors circulating in their circles. This heated argument reveals the strain of their mentor-student relationship.

At a Q&A session following a screening of his film, an audience member named Chae-eun poses a poignant question regarding Nam's previous relationship with an actress. This public scrutiny leads Nam to reassess his role in the chaos that ensued from that romance.

In a moment of vulnerability during the Q&A, Nam declares his intention to abandon filmmaking altogether. This statement marks a significant turning point in his character, reflecting his emotional turmoil and professional dissatisfaction.

The narrative takes a flashback to a few years earlier in the film 'King of Kisses,' where Nam attempts to woo fellow student Jung Ok-heui, played by Jung Yu-mi. Despite her lingering feelings for another man, Nam's persistence eventually leads them into a romantic relationship.

During a tender moment in a greenhouse, Jung compliments Nam, calling him a 'good kisser.' This pivotal scene showcases their budding romance amidst the backdrop of their film school life.

In 'After the Snowstorm,' after a heavy snowfall, Nam and Jung are the only attendees in Professor Song's class. This session not only reflects on their personal dynamics but also leads to Professor Song's decision to retire from teaching.

In 'Oki's Movie,' Jung shares a poignant short film that relates her romantic experiences with two contrasting men. Her storytelling captures the essence of her emotions, drawing parallels to her experiences with Nam.

As Jung narrates her film, she reflects on her past relationships while taking scenic winter walks on Mt. Acha. These introspective moments provide a backdrop to her emotional journey and the complexity of her feelings.

Through her narrative, Jung confronts the chaos that relationships can bring, intertwined with beautiful wintry landscapes. This motif emphasizes the emotional weight of her experiences.

As the film concludes, both Nam and Jung are left to confront their pasts and make decisions about their futures. Their intertwined stories highlight the complexity of love, ambition, and personal growth.
