Celluloid Critics Consensus
What is Twinkling Watermelon about?
Ha Eun-gyeol is the hearing child of Deaf parents, fluent in sign before he could speak and quietly worn down by a lifetime of being the family's interpreter. A strange music shop drops him into 1995, where he meets his own father as a defiant Deaf teenager and joins the band that will remake both their lives. A time-travel drama about inherited silence, the songs that break it, and the parents we only ever meet as strangers.
