Hi!
My name is André Caldas. I am from Brazil. I have lived in Japan for a long time. I have joined your community because when I was in Japan, I have watched a movie on TV. I don't quite remember if it was a Japanese or Korean movie. I do think the story was in Korea, though. I loved it, and I have some hope to find out what movie was it.
Probably, I should ask at the proper forum... please, feel free to point me to the right path. :-)
As far as I remember, the plot is about a lonely male photographer who runs a shop/studio. A high-school (I think) girl passes by his shop every day. They develop a very tender, quiet, and purely platonic friendship. The film ends with the photographer either moving away or becoming ill and disappearing from her life. I don't quite remember.
I'd love to see this movie, again! :-)
