Program Note
A special jourmey begins with two people in the set of beautiful landscape of Poland. Jakub, a former monk finds a tumor in his brain and leave to get to the ocean that he has never seen before. Either accidental or fateful, he meets Julia, who′s struggling with her past and future, a prostitute being HIV positive. Regardless the extreme opposite life stories of each, they get closer and closer, sharing unavoidable despair on their dead-end lives. On the way to the sea, they run into all kinds of people; mostly ignorant or negligent, indifferent to others and above all, not appreciate of the rest of the days. Those people signify as if to recall all the lifetime stupidities we′ve done, at the last minute of our lives. Nevertheless, hope will be found even in the end of the deepest desperation. It′s a sadly enough but powerful lyric about human affection. (Young-in Lee)
