My Love, Don't Cross that River at Doc Lounge

My Love, Don’t Cross that River might be one of the most romantic documentaries ever made and now it’s coming to Doc Lounge. The film, centering around the “100 year old lovebirds”, became the most commercially successful Korean documentaries ever in its home country, and we’re very happy to be able to bring it to new audiences here in the Nordics.

Joyful, playful and visibly in love, the couple have lived a fairytale romance through their 76 years of marriage. Dressed in traditional Korean clothing, the duo spends their days gathering wood, clearing a path through the snow or cooking simple, customary fare. He picks her flowers and sings her songs; they sleep hand in hand. Director Jin MoYoung filmed the couple in their mountain village over 15 months. But when the husband - 98 years old - falls ill, the thought of his death becomes almost unbearable for the wife.

My Love, Don’t Cross that River is beautiful, happy, romantic and sad. It’s one of the most touching documentaries we’ll show at Doc Lounge this Fall. Read more about it in our film archive and see the trailer below.
