The movie
Jirô is celebrating his 20th anniversary on his own in his favorite restaurante, when a delightful young woman invites herself to his table. She tells him it’s her birthday as well. He urges her to share his meal, starting in this way a wild and adventurous night. But after a couple of hours, the young woman announces suddenly that she has to leave…back to the future ! One year later, Jirô is celebrating his 21st anniversary, in the same place, when a young woman looking just like the other comes to him. She tells him she’s a cyborg from the future, and that she came to save him from a big disaster… Directed by Kwak Jae-young, Cyborg She is truly a multi-genre film. As a mix between romantic comedy, disaster film, science fiction and sentimental drama, this movie will charm a large audience.
