Overview

Ceramic master Kim Young-gil pours his soul into traditional pottery, stoking a kiln with clay and firewood gathered by hand-a process of grueling labor. His apprentice, Park Seong-jun, works nights at a convenience store and returns each morning to learn from him. Side by side, the two set out on the mountain path again today.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A quietly immersive portrait of ceramic mastery and the quietly grinding commitment it demands. Watch as two figures move through repetitive, sacred labor: the kiln's heat, the clay's resistance, the mountain path walked again and again.
