Nirvana

Fang He-ping was a rock singer when he was young, twenty years ago. He is now working at night as a driver for hire. He is busy in his daily life just like any other middle age man, salt of the earth. In order to open a restaurant, Fang mortgages his house to take out a loan and it seems that everything is going well. He happens to notice a singing competition for which his old band mate Da-yong is the judge. Da-yong and He-ping meet up again, drinking together and recalling past days. During theireir conversation, Da-yong invites He-ping to attend the competition as a judge, and even though he refuses, the invitation makes an impression on He-ping. However, something terrible occurs and He-ping falls into despair. He has no choice but to try to go back on stage again. But things are getting worse... (Tokyo International Film Festival)
