Film Description

An unusual and gentle love story that extends over decades. It begins when two deeply connected South Korean pre-teen classmates go on an arranged date. Any budding attraction seems doomed when one family emigrates to Toronto. Over the years Na Young changes her name to Nora Moon and matures into a writer in New York City. By chance, in this social media world, no-one is ever really lost. But happy endings are elusive for Hae Sung and Nora.
