Description
An old scholar, who has lived in his own metaphysical world, reflects on life, death, and love, after his wife has an accident and as he senses the approaching death.
The film provides a glimpse into the hidden life of Kim Uchang, a humanist who has exerted the most profound influence on modern South Korean intellectual history, and presents a depiction, focusing on love, of the clumsiness and irony behind the old scholar’s seemingly wise and perfect life.
A story uncovered from the daily life of Kim Uchang that would deliver profound lessons, warming humor, and wisdom about life. Here is his history that the director has traced for nineteen years.

We are currently working on a documentary film, <In the Sea of Strange Thougths>, which is a nineteen-year cinematic record of the life and thoughts of Kim Uchang, a South Korean philosopher who is considered a humanistic virtuoso. Using the footage shot over nineteen years, we plan to do transmedia storytelling encompassing documentaries for theaters, TV channels, short-form YouTube content, and book publishing. We are also planning commercial films and dramas.
