A24 has unveiled the first trailer for Past Lives, the highly-anticipated feature directorial debut of Korean-Canadian filmmaker Celine Song. Past Lives got reviews after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, and the first trailer reveals the story that moved critics from all around the word. Past Lives follows the story of Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo), childhood sweethearts whose dreams of growing old together are shattered when one of the girls leaves South Korea and moves to the United States. Nora has built a different life in the US, marrying a handsome man and rediscovering love. However, the resurgence of Hae Sung in Nora’s life will force her to question if humans are strong enough to fight destiny.

After her painful separation during their childhood, Nora moved on with her life. But as the trailer shows us, Hae Sung has never forgotten the love of his life. So, twenty years after Nora’s departure to the US, Hae Sung decides to track her down to see her one last time. But while Nora is happy in her marriage, the presence of Hae Sung will unlock old and powerful emotions.
