The plot follows a portrait photographer, Jung-won and his developing romance with a parking agent, Da-rim. However, the romance never gets a chance to develop into intimacy. Jung-won soon finds out he is suffering from an unnamed illness and has to come to terms with his impending death. He sets out to continue living as usual, going out with his friends and spending time with his family in the small town he has lived for decades.
To create this excellent screenplay, the director purposely shot the film with slow movements and still camera work to capture the feel of photography, which is a huge part of the plot. A beautiful melodrama with an emotional impact on the viewer, Christmas in August is sure to break down your defenses and make you feel something real.
