The Red Thread

A lyrical and dreamlike celebration of sisterhood, imagination, and the ties we nurture to stay connected—no matter the distance.

The moment we became sisters, the red thread connected us.

When Unnie welcomes her baby sister, Nabi, into the world, their red thread begins to grow—stitched through play, sharing, and make-believe. But when a summer apart stretches their bond, Nabi must follow the thread to discover that love, once woven, never unravels.

Delicately tying the East Asian folklore of the red string of fate to the Korean belief in inyeon, the metaphysical magic in all human connection, The Red Thread weaves a tale of two sisters finding individuality and strength by relying on the bond that connects them.
