Ode to the Goose

An elderly man revisits the port city of Gunsan, the landscape of his youth. The city unfolds through the scent of the sea and the distant blare of ferry horns, becoming a silent companion to his pilgrimage. He wanders familiar streets now altered by time, where memories of faces and voices long gone surface with each corner turned. Brief encounters with the few remaining acquaintances and the rhythm of the port's contemporary life stir a quiet storm of nostalgia and acceptance within him. This journey is a solitary search for echoes of a vanished era in the bricks and water of a changing hometown.
