SELF-PORTRAIT

Hongsik lives in a redevelopment village.
The home where family memories exist is everything to Hongsik and a space he cannot leave.
Hong-sik always misses his son, but is cautious about contacting him because he feels like it will be a burden to him.
Hong-sik, who was preparing for death as if he were organizing his life alone, takes a picture of his face reflected in the mirror with his cell phone and leaves a memorial photo.
And he meets the son he has longed for so much.

Driven by an all-consuming passion, Amine threw himself into the adventure without the slightest experience. There were many obstacles, but his determination was unfailing.
