Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo), two deeply connected childhood friends, are torn apart when Nora's family immigrates from South Korea to Canada. Twelve years later, Nora is studying in New York and the two reconnect through the internet. They fantasize about a reunion, but distance causes their contact to fade away. Another twelve years later, Nora is now married and during a pivotal week, she is reunited with her childhood love when he visits her in New York.
In her debut film, playwright Celine Song explores notions of fate, love, and the thin line between the life we lead and the life that could have been. 'Past Lives' became the great surprise of the Berlin and Sundance film festivals earlier this year.
