Directed by Lee Chang-dong, who made "Green Fish", "Oasis", "Secret Sunshine", and "Burning", the film stars Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung, and Cho Yeo-jeong.

This marks the first time in 24 years, since 2002 with "Oasis", that Director Lee Chang-dong has been invited to the competition section of the Venice International Film Festival. At the time, "Oasis" won a total of five awards, including the Director's Award and Moon Sori's Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best New Actress.

This year's film festival will be held from September 2 to 12 on Lido Island near Venice. In the competition section, Director Lee Chang-dong's "Possible Love" will compete for the Golden Lion, the grand prize.
