Program Note
One early morning, a small flower bud grows on the ivy on the wall that Mrs. Young-hee passes by on her way to work. And on that very day, a young man who bears a resemblance to Mrs. Young-hee’s first love visits her bistro. The young man just so happens to be her first love’s son, and he guides Mrs. Young-hee to Chuncheon, a place full of fond memories. The film is a psychological road movie that invites its audience to a soft, delicate story about how a middle-aged woman’s ordinary everyday is changed by her memories, blossoming in her life like flower buds. This film portrays a withering life that is enlightened by a flowering time with its elegant and poetic images, and leaves a fragrant impression on the audience. [KIM Sun-young]
