As the result of widowhood and increasing divorce rates, more and more South Korean women are finding themselves as the sole breadwinner of economically struggling families. This documentary explores the gender and economic obstacles that such women face in a predominantly patriarchal culture. The first subject is Kim Nami, a sickly, hard-working elderly woman who struggles in abject poverty and receives very little government support. Also profiled is Lee Chung-Ja who, despite being bound to a wheelchair, provides for her bed-ridden husband and their family by working as a truck driver. Credit card debts are passed on like family heirlooms to their children. Through the voices of five women, this film explores the dynamics of poverty and gender discrimination in South Korean society. (Nam In-young)
