Thirty-six years ago, Lee Soo-hyun has met Kim In-sun at a Korean Christian Women’s Association retreat in Germany and gifted her flowers. Despite threats from her then-husband and the disapproval of Korean society, In-sun finds love and chooses to be with Soo-hyun. Now, the two of them - who first come to work as nurses in a foreign country where they know nothing of the language - are still there and already in their 70s. For 30 years, they have lived together in Berlin and shared all the joys and sorrows of life. Soo-hyun and In-sun have stood in solidarity with other foreigners like themselves while also looking after one another. They are two people who have overcame boundaries. This is their love story, and their passionate fight against the discrimination towards elderlies and lesbians in Korea.

Banpark Jieun resides in Berlin and Life Unrehearsed is her directorial debut. She has made several short films that entered film festivals.
