Through a broken relationship, Lee Kyeong-won's Nowhere Else tells a tale of family and trauma. The film opens with the story of a man looking for a woman he lived with a long time ago but who cannot remember her past, nor her ex-husband. By the end, she does recall and, above all, finds out why she had sealed this memory.

The minimal information transfer and slow filming style does not create distance but rather invites  the spectator beautifully on this journey, discovering  the protagonist's surprising truths alongside  her . The silence in the film renders the audience active. Through death, Nowhere Else  allows for a brief reflection on life.
