Director：Lee Myung-Se /Clément Deneux

　　France / South Korea｜2021

　　Father is gone could have been Lee Myung-se‘s debut film, but slipped into a long hiatus instead. After thirty years busy directing unprecedented features in Korea like First Love or Nowhere to Hide, Lee finally brings the lost project back to life through virtual reality. Set against the backdrop of a family of three moving to the outskirts of Seoul in the 1960s - where the director himself grew up - Father Is Gone questions the place of the father in the traditional Korean culture.
