Saranghae

2025 · 5 min

A short, quietly tense watch that sits with a man's helplessness as distant crisis and personal distance collide.

Directed by
Amir Zargara
Overview
When airstrikes shut Iran’s skies and sever communications, a Korean refinery engineer in Busan — already on thin ice with his wife in Tehran — finds his flight canceled and his calls going to voicemail, forcing him to confront the cost of his absences as he struggles to reach his family.
