The protagonist, a lecturer or filmmaker (archetypes Hong frequents), finds himself at a crossroads. The "stream" in the title acts as both a literal setting and a metaphorical device. It represents the flow of time that the characters attempt to pause or redirect through their conversations. The plot is less about dramatic twists and more about the subtle shifts in power dynamics during meals, walks, and drinking sessions.

In 2024, Hong continues his exploration of the human condition through his minimalist lens. "By The Stream" emerges not as a grand departure, but as a refinement of the themes he has mastered over three decades: the awkwardness of social hierarchy, the blurry lines between professional and romantic intimacy, and the pursuit of artistic integrity in a commercialized world.
