Synopsis

Yoon-joo is a timid art student who has retreated into preparations for her graduate exhibition. Ji-soo is a bartender who radiates confidence. Following a chance encounter at a convenience store they embark on a romance that defies what remain intolerant attitudes toward homosexuality in South Korea.

Hyun-ju Lee's lyrical debut feature Our Love Story explores the nuances of first love between two characters that just happen to both be women.
