SYNOPSIS

Ki-hyun, an astrophotographer, carries his longing through the stars. He embarks on a journey to Gurja, a remote village in the Himalayas of Nepal, in search of stars, people, and memories. In this land closest to the sky, he once again finds solace among the stars.

NOTE

¡°Tara.¡± In Nepali, it means ¡°star¡±, but for one man, it signifies a dream, a future, and the stage of his life. He says he can never forget the stars he once saw from the towering peaks of the Himalayas. Now, we follow the journey of a man who, like the stars, quietly walks his own path.​​​
