Alumni meeting
Jongseon’s every day is boring. One day, he gets a phone call to attend his school reunion. The same daily routine feels different.
Having turned eighty-three this year, Jongseon goes through a similar routine day in and day out.
His son rings him up to ask about his wife’s condition, but he’s too busy to have a proper conversation.
After the phone call, Jongseon prepares a meal for his wife who has limited mobility, and goes for a walk in the neighborhood.
Still, he manages to find moments of fun in the midst of mundane daily life. He picks flowers and even a four-leaf clover. Is that a sign of good things to come?
One day, he gets a call from someone other than his son. Delighted, he picks up a red pen and marks the date for tomorrow on the calendar.
The same daily routine feels different to Jongseon.
Is he perhaps going to a school reunion? He wears the same clothes and visits the same places, but feels pleased for some reason. Where is he going tomorrow?
I used to think of older people as weak, pitiful, and needy. However, after my grandmother passed away, I went to live with my grandfather and learned that he was different from death. At first, I regarded his solitary walks as lonely but later found out that he had fun talking to other people and looking at flowers. With that realization, I began working on this script.
