About the project: Yunseul, a lonely little Korean girl living in Canada, grows up without a father. To protect her from the heavy truth, her mother tells her that her real father was a magician who doesn't live in this world anymore. Wanting to give her daughter comfort, she hires a struggling magician to play the role of "dad" for just one day. At first only in it for the money, the magician and his assistant Chuy try to entertain the child with tricks and laughter, but as the day unfolds over paper petals, shared meals, and fragile moments, the make-believe begins to feel real. Still, Yunseul senses the truth and clings desperately to the illusion, afraid it will vanish. By the ocean at sunset, the magician must say goodbye, leaving Yunseul with one last spell, a memory to hold onto, like magic that can never be taken away. Rate: This is a volunteer project.

YunseulFemale5-12 y.o.All ethnicities

A vulnerable and innocent Korean girl living in Canada. She feels different from the other children around her and carries a quiet sense of loneliness. Though she cannot fully express it, she longs for the father who is not in her life. Her habit of twisting her hair reveals her anxiety and her wish to be someone else. Yunseul is a believer at heart, able to find wonder in the smallest gestures, and when she meets the Magician, she dares to imagine that magic might be real.
