야夜심한 연극반

The narrator sees the world in film terms, above all the cross-dissolve, where one image melts into the next. Convinced that their father walked out on them, the narrator goes looking for him, a search that leads to Kyoto and to Utoro, a Korean neighbourhood in Japan, and to the harrowing truth about the parents. The trip changes what the dissolve means: no longer a shield against absence, it becomes a way of keeping someone in memory.
