Book and Original Lyrics by Minhyung Cho
Music by Chanhong Min
English Translation and Lyrics by Michael K. Lee
1969. Apollo 11 lands on the Moon. That same night in a backwoods city in Korea, Namwon–the town tailor– receives an acceptance letter to Korea's finest Design Academy, getting him closer to achieving his dreams. While envisioning the future, his life is unexpectedly transformed by a cosmic event, rendering him unconscious.
Next thing he knows, everything has changed yet seems eerily familiar. The year is now 2020 and he meets Sunhee, an elderly woman who agrees to help him. Determined to return to 1969 and the love of his life, Jungbun, Namwon constructs his plan to go back in time.
An utterly charming story of love across time and space, the Festival marks Let Me Fly's debut full English translation, following on the heels of its critically-acclaimed run in South Korea.
