Human only remembers what he or she wants to remember. It is called the "Rashomong effect". The "Rashomon Effect" is a phenomenon that interprets the same incident in different positions and reorganizes the memory to justify the current self. The virtual reality film <Memory of the Day> gives the audience a chance to experience different pieces of memory of the day when the man and woman they loved met.
<Memory of the Day> tells the story of a man and a woman's one-day memory they met in a foreign country Vietnam. The movie shows the traces of different memories of a day that the man and the woman remember, respectively, through his and her stories. They exist at the same time, in the same space, and talk about the same but slightly different memories.
Su-jin and Hyuk are traveling to Vietnam, and they are both struggling, wandering between dreams and reality, just like our youth. When they happen to meet in another country, they open their minds to each other by talking about each other's dreams and their respective journeys to their dreams. As time goes by, the memories of the past day of the woman and a man's memories show different points of view through his story and her story, each telling an edited version of each other as it pleases to remember. Their stories seem the same, but they are also very different from each other. The audience can experience the different space and time of the man and the woman through two different VR films.
