The stars know

On October 29, 2022, the neon-lit streets of Itaewon were illuminated by the red glow of dozens of ambulances. Even before the victims' funerals were completed, a peculiar memorial altar appeared in front of Seoul City Hall, composed entirely of pure white chrysanthemums and a plaque that read, "Deceased in the Itaewon Accident." In defiance of this hollow memorial, which seemed to promote forgetfulness rather than mourning, the families of the victims donned bright red shawls and took to the snowy white streets of Itaewon. The film explores the attempts, changes, frustrations, and solidarity that have emerged in the aftermath. For us, the Itaewon tragedy is far from over.
