I often envisioned floating images. Not knowing where they were heading or why they were drifting left me feeling uneasy. So, I decided to observe from a distance.

One of them comes from the roof of my home. It originates from the wind and evokes the repetitive beat of a drum. On se souvient des pas begins here. Through a geographic and temporal journey as the camera transitions from one scene to another, the film encounters Korea's history and traditions. This is a kind of journal—an attempt to grasp the essence of this land where I lived for ten months.
