The Man Who Paints Water Drops

Portrait of painter Kim Tschang-yeul

The late artist Kim Tschang-yeul built his deep world of works around one motif: water drops. An artist's enigmatic world and a collaboration with his son, the film's co-director, who seeks to understand it, has created this meditative yet serene film. His water drops are a symbol representing the sad history of Korea and Asia, and they quietly but powerfully resonate with the world through his lifelong works and lives with his family.
