My father was a footballer. In 1985, he led the South Korean National team to their first world cup appearance in 32 years. Weeks before the world cup, he tore his meniscus and never got to play at the world’s stage.
He never got over his unfulfilled dream, and from when I was 7 to 16, he was absent from my life– pursuing a career as a football agent and scout. The youngest of his four kids, I was raised by my siblings in his absence.
With this in mind, I ask the question: Where do your dreams end and mine begin?
This film is a means of reconciling with my dad– learning about him through spoken interview, archival footage, and our love for football, coming to terms and understanding our strained relationship and who I am.
