Director Lee Chang-dong's short film "Heartbeat" will debut on Netflix next week, according to Netflix. The streaming service announced this on Friday, just days before Lee's Venice-winning feature film "Possible Love" is released. "Heartbeat" is Lee's inaugural short film, clocking in at 28 minutes. It premiered at the 23rd Jeonju International Film Festival without a theatrical release.
The story revolves around a young boy whose mother battles depression and whose father engages in labor strikes atop a tower crane. "Heartbeat" stars Jeon Do-yeon and Sul Kyung-gu, who also portray the lead roles in Lee's acclaimed feature "Possible Love." This 2022 film was created as part of a World Health Organization and the Beijing Contemporary Art Foundation project, which invited directors worldwide to produce films centered on the theme of depression.
"Heartbeat" will be accessible on Netflix starting Monday, while "Possible Love" is set to release on Friday.
