Jina, a solitary woman re-evaluates her isolated existence after her neighbor dies alone in his apartment.
What Aloners does right is the spot on portrayal of a modern, low income worker who seems to exist only for the company to make money. Jina is an employee in a call center where everyone is a small cog in the wheel, and her life sort of just blends in with the noise of the world around her. It's all very real in how Jina, while being a high ranked employee and surrounded by colleagues, still lives in isolation. Aloners is the debut of Hong Seong-eun, who wished to confront her own experience of loneliness in a society where everyone is connected. She has talked about how the devices in our hands and the screens we stare at distract us from getting to know ourselves. A relatable and great film.
Genre: Drama. 1h 31min.
