My favorite kind of movies are cross-cultural ones. The ones where different characters speak different languages, while they try to discover different cultures as they interact with people different from them culturally but so similar in thoughts. The movie is officially Korean, but most of the story takes place in Hokkaido & there is a lot of Japanese dialogue as well.
Singer Hyeon Seok develops problems with his hearing (Menieres syndrome) and has to stop his recordings. He notices a picture of Hokkaido in a magazine and decides to travel there. He eventually arrives in a a small village in Hokkaido for rest. While there, he reminisces about the old days. The owner of the inn offers him a Japanese meal. There he meets a bright cheerful girl named Megumi.
