Synopsis
[Shared Streets] portrays the daily life of three characters; CHOI Young-im, owner of the snack bar called “Samteo (Oasis)”; Jerry K, underground Hip Hop MC; and AHN Sang-min, a social activist. The camera follows their changes as seasons pass by and preserves their hopes and dreams for the community they are living in.
Director’s Note / Intention
What makes so many people maintain their lives in this world? I hope to find the source of their strength from a tiny change in the world and the warm, sensitive eyes to value that change. I will tell of the hope that comes from the solidarity of local community, in a quiet tone.
