Your Butt is Lopsided

Warning: Spoilers
After finished what he terms a mediocre movie, the film director Jang Hyeong-seong decides to go on a short vacation to Udo Island. However, the location was not chosen randomly. Ten years earlier Hyeong-seong and his girlfriend visited the island and made an agreement that they would meet at the same inn in ten years. However, after Hyeong-seong's girlfriend studies abroad in Poland, she breaks up their relationship and eventually marries a German conductor. While not completely distraught, Hyeong-seong obviously still possesses feelings for his ex.

After arriving at the island, Hyeong-seong is picked up by a young girl on a Moped. Very cheerful, the ever-smiling So-yeon seems to be the only bright spot at the otherwise lonely inn. The only other occupant is her uncle who has not said a word after his wife left him. In the lonely, but lovely environs of Udo Island, Hyeong-seong awaits to see his ex-girlfriend. However, when the time comes for his ex to arrive, a piano is shipped to the inn.

Filmed on a shoestring budget, Feather is a lovely film. The natural environs of Udo Island and the genial relationship between Hyeong-seong and So-yeon, 12 years Hyeong-seong's junior, make Feather to be a gentle heartwarming film without becoming overly sappy. Originally intended to be one of three short films, Feather took on a life of its own and became quite a gem.
