RomanceMinor Subplot

Am Rand der südkoreanischen Megacity Seoul wächst Minu in einem von Bandenkriminalität beherrschten Armutsviertel auf. Er kann studieren, arbeitet sich hoch und bringt es als Architekt mit eigener Baufirma zu Ansehen und Wohlstand. Eines Tages erhält er eine Nachricht von seiner Jugendliebe, und auf einmal erwachen alte Erinnerungen. Als er den Ort seiner Kindheit aufsucht, findet er aber keinerlei Spuren der Vergangenheit mehr. Seine Geschichte kreuzt sich mit der einer jungen Frau. Uhi will ihren Traum, sich als Theaterregisseurin durchzusetzen, nicht aufgeben. Mit Nachtschichten in einem 24-Stunden-Nahversorger kann sie kaum die Miete stemmen, doch sie verfolgt ihr Ziel, während Minu den Versäumnissen in seinem Leben nachgrübelt. 'Dämmerstunde' bildet eine tiefgründige Ergänzung zu 'Vertraute Welt', diesem märchenhaften Roman, der auf der großen Mülldeponie am Rand von Seoul spielt. Hier wie dort geht es um die unterschwellige Wirkung einer fast ausgetilgten Welt auf die modernen Verhältnisse in einem Land, in dem beim Streben nach wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung wenig Rücksicht auf Verluste genommen wurde.
