Seven years after “Moving On,” Korean filmmaker Yoon Dan-bi returns with “The World Before,” a coming-of-age film about desire and first love.

Speaking with Variety ahead of the film’s Toronto Film Festival Platform world premiere, Yoon discusses how capturing the authenticity of change worked its way at every stage of the production.

“I want to make films about things that can’t be described in one sentence,” says Yoon. “In my previous movie I wanted to capture nostalgia, here I wanted to capture the restlessness, that fever you experience when innocence turns into desire.”
