The Dream Songs

2023 · 118 min

A tender, aching drift through a school day where feelings surface and slip away, leaving a quiet melancholy that lingers.

Tagline
I woke up from a dream and I was you.
Overview
On the afternoon of the day before her school trip, Se-mi wakes up from her strange dream and heads to her Ha-eun. It was because she felt like she had to convey the feelings she had been holding back for a long time today. However, unlike her overflowing heart, the two keep falling apart.
