Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned

Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned (가려진 시간, 2016) is a South Korean fantasy drama you can watch online on iFILM. Thirteen-year-old Soo-rin has just moved to a small island with her stepfather after her mother's death — no footing, no friends, until she meets a boy named Son-min.

The boys go into a mysterious cave in the forest. They vanish. Days later a grown man appears and tells Soo-rin he is Son-min — aged forward by whatever the cave took from him. Directed by Eom Tae-hwa and starring Kang Dong-won alongside newcomer Shin Eun-soo, the film belongs to the quieter side of Korean fantasy — stories where the uncanny is inseparable from grief.
