In Front of Your Face 12A

In Front of Your Face suggests that perhaps the most important things in this life are also the most immediate.

After years living in the United States, former actress Sangok (Lee Hyeyoung) returns to Seoul, staying with her sister Jeongok (Cho Yunhee) in her high-rise apartment. Whilst Sangok becomes re-accustomed to life in Korea, the sisters have a lie-in, enjoy breakfast in a cafe and visit a restaurant owned by Jeongok's son. But as the detail of Sangok's day accrue (a spill on her blouse, an encounter at her childhood home), it becomes clear that there is much she is not revealing. These mysterious circumstances may have something to do with her decision to meet with film director Jaewon (Kwon Haehyo) to discuss her return to acting. What could she be hiding?

Steeped in prolific director Hong Sangsoo’s (On the Beach at Night Alone, The Woman Who Ran) trademark cinematic style, In Front of Your Face ponders life’s most pressing questions.
