Director Lee Chang-dong is presenting his new film, "Possible Love," for the first time in eight years.

He introduced the project as a story about love, true to its title, exploring questions such as what it takes to make love possible.

"Possible Love" follows the encounters between a fired labor union worker's couple and a documentary director's couple, portraying how they confront each other's different ways of life and hidden desires.

Director Lee explained that he chose large-scale corporate mass layoffs as a subject for the film because they carry significant social repercussions and are events capable of upending ordinary people's lives.

He emphasized that, especially in times like these, what sustains our lives is love.
