The film "Possible Love" has been officially invited to the Special Presentation section of the 51st Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Netflix announced that the film "Possible Love" has been officially selected for the Special Presentation section of the 51st Toronto International Film Festival, which will be held from September 10 to 20.

"Possible Love" tells the story of two couples—a laid-off worker and his wife, and a documentary filmmaker and her husband—who meet to produce a documentary and confront their different lives and hidden desires.

The Toronto International Film Festival is North America's largest film festival, inviting a wide range of films that balance popular appeal with artistic merit. Alongside the Venice International Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, and Berlin International Film Festival, it is recognized as one of the world's four major film festivals. The Special Presentation section, in which "Possible Love" was selected, showcases new works by globally acclaimed actors and directors, highlighting films that combine both commercial viability and artistic excellence. Notable past selections include "Parasite," "Decision to Leave," "The Age of Shadows," and "The Handmaiden." Last year's 50th edition featured Netflix's "Good News" in the Special Presentation section, which received enthusiastic responses.

Netflix's "Possible Love" is the first new work by acclaimed director Lee Chang-dong in eight years. He previously earned international acclaim for films such as "Green Fish," "Oasis," "Peppermint Candy," "Secret Sunshine," "Poetry," and "Burning." The film has drawn global attention from movie fans worldwide. Cameron Bailey, Executive Director of the Toronto International Film Festival, stated: "Director Lee Chang-dong is an artist who possesses both overwhelming power and remarkable sensitivity. It has been a great honor to welcome him to Toronto multiple times as both a filmmaker and a jury member. 'Possible Love' is a powerful work that deeply explores marital relationships, class dynamics, and the nature of cinema itself. This film appears to further solidify his reputation as one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers." The selection underscores Lee's unique directorial vision, which sharply captures slices of society while illuminating universal humanity. "Possible Love" will meet audiences worldwide through its North American premiere at the 51st Toronto International Film Festival.

Meanwhile, the first-look stills released alongside the announcement offer a glimpse into the subtle relationships among "Mi-ok" (played by Jeon Do-yeon), "Ho-seok" (played by Seol Kyeong-gu), "Sang-woo" (played by Jo In-sung), and "Ye-ji" (played by Jo Yeo-jung). Although the four characters stand side by side on a beach, they appear to be lost in their own thoughts, sparking curiosity about why they gathered at the beach and what events may have transpired among them.

Meanwhile, "Possible Love" will be released via Netflix.
