Two Worlds Collide: Darkness, Light and Redemption. PART 1

What happens when a man raised by violence meets a woman who believes in the beauty of small things?

Kim Raon grew up in the cold streets of Incheon, where survival came before innocence. By adulthood, he became a feared drug lord—emotionless, untouchable, and convinced that life had no meaning.

Zuri Adeyemi, raised in Lagos, Nigeria, believed the opposite. To her, happiness lived in tiny moments: warm food, laughter, kindness, sunrise after a long night.

When fate brings them together in South Korea, two completely different worlds collide.

This is a powerful story of:
Redemption after a life of violence
Love that doesn’t try to “fix,” but chooses to stay
The cost of confronting your past
Finding hope in the quiet, overlooked moments
And learning that gratitude can save even the most broken soul.
From dark alleyways in Seoul to healing shores in Jeju Island, The Quiet Things We Live For is a cinematic, emotional journey about choosing life when all you’ve known is death.
