Love, Not Love

This film is adapted from the short story "The Cat Who Can't Come Back" by Japanese female writer Inoue Wilderness. It was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 2011 Berlin Film Festival. The two leading actors starred in the film without pay. After five years of being together, a couple is finally on the verge of breaking up. Suddenly one day the wife (played by Lim Soo-jung) told her husband (played by Hyun Bin) that she had someone else. The husband is a seemingly silent and tolerant man. He calmly accepted the fact that his wife was having an affair and still treated her affectionately as always. While helping his wife pack her luggage for departure, she prepared delicious coffee for her. While he was packing his luggage, he hoped that maybe in this short and limited space, they could pick up the memories of the past. However, the wife was a little impatient by her husband's thoughtfulness, and her emotions fluctuated. The husband made a special reservation at a restaurant for the last meal before their separation, and the kitten hiding from the rain became an opportunity for him to try to retain his wife... It rained non-stop outside... Will they really break up in the end? ©Douban
