Su-yeon stands in a dark alley and swipes ‘like’ on a dating app. She meets a man, drinks with him, and then they go to a motel. She is a romance novelist. One day, a senior colleague visits Su-yeon and asks her to join in filing a sexual assault complaint against a professor who taught them ten years ago. Su-yeon’s reaction is unexpected. Around that time, Su-yeon starts to feel a subtle connection with a young female editor at a publishing house. What kind of experiences will Su-yeon go through? Journey to Face Them breaks almost all the conventions of recent Korean independent films dealing with the themes of sexual violence and its aftermath. The film reveals the complex and subtle chains of emotions in a delicate yet bold manner. Through a provocative narrative that repeatedly pauses, resumes, and leaps forward, it painfully captures the unfinished nature of the incident and the emotions tied to it. (JUNG Hanseok)
