Summary

Director Lee Dongwoo of No Money, No Future (2016), created his second film with the main character of a homeless man he met at Tapgol Park in Jongno. One morning, this homeless man is drunk and approaches director Lee for money. He is a doubtful character who is often in and out of the detention center and mentions Bresson, Ozu, and Ha Giljong. He claims to have been invited to the Venice International Film Festival and the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival with his film Self-Portrait 2000. Self-Portrait 2020 is a record of strange friendships and a film of respect (homage) to a promising young film director of 20 years ago. Two directors, two films, and splendid credits.
