Synopsis

Having lost her creative spark as well as her job, a broke artist is on the verge of becoming evicted from her apartment. In her struggles to find a roommate to split the rent with, she receives an unlikely applicant who lends a tiny, yet significant, helping hand.

Director's Comment

Within each of us resides an eternal child that never grows up. In our efforts to be accepted by society, we often neglect or even punish that child for being rambunctious, impulsive, and carefree. While the inner child may be the source of these so-called flaws, they are also the wellspring of joy, creativity, and sense of wonder. Daldal is my Roommate is the story of how I lost and found my own inner child, and eventually realized just how much she means to me.

Detailed description

It’s simply fun! How will the next month’s rent be paid? We’re anxious for the sequel!

LEE Jonghoon 

 

With just a little generosity, we can imagine ourselves as the cute squirrel and roommate. The puppet animation and live-action elements are combined with humorous touches found everywhere. 

CHUNG Huibin 

 

The artist may have been poor, but the tiny friend in their imagination was very sweet.
