Director Lee Chang-dong's short film "Heartbeat" will be released on Netflix next week, according to Netflix. This comes just days before Lee's Venice-winning feature film "Possible Love" is set to hit the streaming platform. "Heartbeat" is the first short film directed by Lee and revolves around a young boy whose mother struggles with depression and a father who engages in labor strikes from a tower crane.
The 2022 film stars Jeon Do-yeon and Sul Kyung-gu, who were also the leads in Lee's critically acclaimed feature "Possible Love." "Heartbeat" made its debut at the 23rd Jeonju International Film Festival but did not receive a theatrical release. The 28-minute film was part of a project by the World Health Organization and the Beijing Contemporary Art Foundation, which invited directors worldwide to create films centered on the theme of depression.
"Heartbeat" will be available on Netflix starting from Monday, while "Possible Love" is slated for release on Friday.
