Jury's note :
"A delicate and intimate immersion, without ever feeling an imposition by the camera or the director, into a family inter-relations, complicated by the Savant’s syndrome affecting Sung Ho and his mother determination to empower him.
The empathic, powerful film construction, captures very well the intricacies of the relationships. The viewer is captured, feels close to the characters and can clearly sense their emotions, especially those of the two brothers. »

Seong-ho is a musician with an autistic disorder who has an extraordinary talent in music. But he is trapped in the world of video games and television.

His mother has chosen the life of his shadow to groom him into a professional musician. Her only wish is to ‘Live an hour longer than Seong-ho.’ She would like to leave Seong-ho to his little brother Geon-gi, but he still considers his brother ‘bothersome and useless’.

Two brothers go on a trip to Europe without their mother for the first time. “It’s a practice for when mom isn’t here.” This family’s cacophony is slowly forming a concerto.
