The meeting of two entities, two consciences tormented by different causes and far from each other. He from Paris, condemned to serving years in prison, is innocent though. She, called to cover the role of a sick actress in a film that turns out to be a complete failure. Hence the sense of guilt that becomes unsustainable. They first know each other by letter with him. She sends him a plane ticket and some money so that when he is released, he can reach her in Seoul, where he lives. Each confesses to the other his torment in the few days spent in her house. The approach between the two appears not so intense when in reality one finds in the other the possible way to lighten up if not get rid of one's own experience. Their meeting is accomplished in an almost liturgical manner as if each needed the other to absolve himself until his return to Paris.

Written in the third person and almost always with indirect speech, it does not give the reader space so that everything can flow in an uninterrupted narrative context. Up is a title that wants to indicate a sense of dynamism, of movement between the two protagonists, almost to reduce the distance that will become light as a feather.
