The film centers on two married couples whose lives intersect after a funeral: Mi-ok and her laid-off husband Ho-seok (Sul Kyung-gu), who live quietly with their young son Cheol, and Ye-ji, a filmmaker making a documentary about workers who lost their jobs, and her husband Sang-woo (Zo In-sung). When Mi-ok agrees to be filmed by Ye-ji, the two women grow close, while Mi-ok finds herself unsettled by an attraction to Sang-woo. As the two couples’ worlds overlap, cracks begin to surface in both marriages.
“Possible Love” marks Director Lee Chang-dong's first feature in eight years, following “Burning,” “Poetry” and “Secret Sunshine.” The Korean Film Council (KOFIC) has selected Possible Love, as South Korea‘s official entry for the international feature film category at the 2027 Academy Awards.
