Director's Note

Multiverse, this fascinating view of the world that is also feasible, does not necessarily have to be exclusive for superhero films. Where ordinary people's lives constantly unfold, the multiverse worldview which begins within such imagination brings new sapidity and humor to our imperfect lives even without superpower. Black comedy Stars in the Ordinary Universe makes it possible to face our own desires that we do not want to, through a multi-universe worldview, and to just laugh it off. We hope that all audiences are able to see the aspirations hidden in their hearts while watching this film and laugh for a while, away from their own suffering.
