Program Note
In her middle age, Mija worries about her daughter studying in US and the urinary incontinence that recently came to her. Her only comfort is her date with a Nepalese young man who lives in a basement rented room. Planning of traveling with him, she decisively purchases airline tickets to the man’s country, Nepal, but falls into despair when she finds out he has another woman. Mija tears up the tickets in disappointment with herself and in reproach to him, but she ultimately goes to the airport with torn tickets, putting the pieces together. KIM Ja-young’s excellent performance of a forthright woman in her middle age and the director JEON Hyo-jeong’s delicate direction of the character’s construction are impressive. [LEE Hyuk-sang]
