Director Statement

The meaning of time exists in some particular moments, and the fact of time passing itself. In the story Before the Typhoon Comes, a premature boy feels restless when facing his parents’s divorce. The feeling follows him from the childhood to adulthood, and finally released on the beach. His story, and the story that he told himself take places in different dimensions of time, which is the truth of life, and the fact of subjectivity for everyone.
