"Elio", which will be released on the 18th, is an emotional adventure film in which Elio, who felt alone on Earth, is suddenly summoned to space one day and meets a special friend, and directed by Madeleine Sharapian, Domisi and Adrian Molina.
'Elio' is a work that unravels the feeling of loneliness with a different perspective following the sadness of 'Inside Out' and the anxiety of 'Inside Out2'. Madeleine Sharapian directed "'Elio' is a movie about loneliness. It depicts a child experiencing loneliness on Earth on his journey to find a place where he or she can feel a sense of belonging" In fact, loneliness is a feeling that everyone experiences. Staff members felt similar emotions as they went through the pandemic, and researched the psychology of loneliness. Also, I studied a lot about how to heal myself to get out of this feeling," he said.
He then talked about the message he wanted to convey to the audience. Director Madeleine Sharapian said, `I wish that even one of those who had felt lonely or frustrated before I saw this work would have hope"I hope it will serve as an opportunity for Korean audiences to feel comfort by watching 'Elio' and feel that 'this is where I will be in the world" he stressed.
