A dash of 'Before Sunrise' with a touch of 'Comet' - what could go wrong other than leaving viewers in a sobbing mess? Such is the story of the funny, comedic and mostly relatable 'Yourself and Yours' that first released back in February 2017 in France. Now arriving on Virtual Theatres in America, the film is all set to wow viewers just the way it had with its unique story about almost jilted lovers from South Korea. Here's all you need to know.
Release date

Plot
According to the official synopsis of the film, "A jealous Yeong-soo confronts girlfriend Min-jeong about another man, and she suggests they stop seeing each other for a while. The next day, Youngsoo goes out to look for Minjung and sees women who look just like her."

Director
'Yourself and Yours' was directed by Hong Sang-soo. The South Korean film director and screenwriter made his directorial debut at the age of 35 with 'The Day a Pig Fell into the Well' in 1996. His first film to screen in competition Cannes Film Festival was 'Woman is the Future of Man' in 2004.
Trailer
The official TIFF trailer opens with what can be assumed as the confrontation scene with Min-jeong refusing to answer her boyfriend's allegations of her drinking problem that allegedly drives her to break promises. The trailer doesn't show further scenes from the film, but the couple of dialogues that appear are enough to denote the air of offense Min-jeong feels that her boyfriend would question her loyalty and thus is set the premise of the entertaining plot where she disappears and a woman who looks exactly like her comes to town to date as many men as possible. All mayhem unfolds when the actual Min-jeong returns after a while. Catch the trailer here:
