脱北者でゲイであるという「二重のマイノリティ」を生きる若者の姿を通して、韓国に暮らす脱北者の日常と葛藤、ゲイとして生きる不安や戸惑いを描いたヒューマンドラマ。 北朝鮮から脱北したゲイの青年チョルジュンは、脱北者同士の強い絆に支えられながらも、自身がゲイであることを隠したまま深い孤独を抱えていた。韓国社会にも脱北者コミュニティにも完全には居場所を見出せずにいた彼は、やがてソウルの活気あるゲイコミュニティに足を踏み入れ、人懐っこい青年ヨンジュンと出会う。ヨンジュンとの関係をきっかけに、初めての仲間、初めてのつながりを得ながら、少しずつ世界を広げていくチョルジュンだったが……。 短編映画や演劇の舞台を中心に活動してきたチョ・ユヒョンが長編映画初主演を果たし、主人公チョルジュンを繊細な感情表現と静かな存在感で体現。「私たちは天国には行けないけど、愛することはできる」のキム・ヒョンモクがヨンジュンを演じた。本作が長編デビューとなるパク・ジュンホ監督が、大学時代に約3年半にわたり経験した、脱北した若者たちへの支援ボランティアに着想を得て制作。2026年・第62回百想芸術大賞映画部門で新人監督賞を受賞するなど、韓国国内外で高く評価された。
A human drama depicting the daily life and struggles of North Korean defectors living in South Korea, as well as the anxieties and confusion of living as a gay man, through the eyes of a young person living as a "double minority"—both a defector and gay. Chul-jun, a gay young man who defected from North Korea, is supported by the strong bonds among fellow defectors, yet hides his sexuality and carries deep loneliness within. Unable to find a true place for himself in either South Korean society or the defector community, he eventually steps into Seoul's vibrant gay community and meets the friendly young man Yong-jun. Through his relationship with Yong-jun, Chul-jun gains his first companions and first genuine connections, gradually expanding his world—but then... Jo Yu-hyun, who has primarily worked in short films and theater, makes his feature film debut in the lead role, embodying protagonist Chul-jun with delicate emotional expression and quiet presence. Kim Hyun-mok of "We Can't Go to Heaven, But We Can Love" plays Yong-jun. Director Park Jun-ho, making his feature debut, was inspired by his experience volunteering for about three and a half years during university to support young North Korean defectors. The film won the Best New Director award in the film category at the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards in 2026, among other high acclaim in South Korea and abroad.
