Acclaimed Korean painter Kim Tschang-Yeul didn’t talk much. He preferred to stay silent and paint. Water drops had always been a recurring motif in his art, but it wasn’t until he was 90, when his son, filmmaker Oan Kim, began filming him, that the droplets’ deeper meaning became clear. The elderly painter’s turbulent life story is revealed little by little: he was arrested, he escaped, crossed borders, and rebuilt his life again, and again, and again. Despite the rare, clipped conversations, the two form a special bond as the film progresses. In observation, attentive listening, touch, reminiscence, and shared family moments, they seem to orbit each other—now far, now nearer. Together, they paint a portrait of two artists healed by their art.
