“Daytime Drinking”
A South Korean road movie from a first-time director.
A young man is heartbroken from his recent breakup with his girlfriend. His friends, in an effort to console him, challenge him to a few days out of Seoul, in a pensione. The young man reluctantly accepts.
The next morning, when he arrives to meet his friends for their escape, he realizes that he’s the only attendee. The others, hung over, don’t show and so he proceeds on his own.
His solo journey ultimately allows him to escape the memory of his girlfriend, but in the process he loses his pants and almost loses his best friend.
Very long but the nice twist of an ending makes this ultimately a cute road trip through the outskirts of Seoul, Korea.
