32è Chéries Chéris - 3670 de PARK Joon-ho 박준호

Cheol-jun, a young North Korean defector, has made friends since arriving in the South but hides the fact that he is gay. Facing feelings of isolation and a yearning for closer, more accommodating relationships, he sets out to explore Seoul's vibrant gay community.

In his debut feature film, Park Joon-ho delivers a delicately nuanced queer coming-of-age story, where exile is intertwined with an intimate quest: the search for a place where Cheol-jun can finally be himself. The filmmaker draws parallels between his own experience as a North Korean defector and his entry into the LGBTQIA+ community, demonstrating how caution and secrecy can shape relationships. But 3670 also focuses on the fragile joy of encounters, thwarted impulses, and the bonds that gradually form. Without reducing his characters to their wounds, Park Joon-ho embraces their contradictions and awkwardness with remarkable tenderness. Anchored by Cho You-hyun's moving performance, the film finds its emotional resonance in the simplest details: a shared evening, a karaoke song, or a final exchange at a bus stop. It's a sensitive portrait of the families we choose and the courage it sometimes takes to make our voices heard.

With CHO You-hyun 조유현, KIM Hyeon-mok 김현목, CHO Dae-hee 조대희, Bae Han-sol 배한솔, Lim Ji-hyung 임지형, Jeon Doo-sik 전두식
