Program Note

Fondly taking care of each other, Young-hee
 and Sun-junghave shared their lives. One day, Sun-jung is diagnosed with lung
 cancer and her condition gets worse as each day passes. Sun-jung’s family
 doesn’t approve of Young-hee and bans her from visiting her life companion at
 the hospital. And the house where Young-hee has lived with Sun-jung falls into
 the hands of Sun-jung’s brother. Young-hee’s has lost everything and her last
 choice seems fair to her. And yet the harsh reality she’s facing makes us feel
 frustrated and deeply sad. Panning out how the couple fell in love with each
 other at first sight, the final scene of the film leads the audience to
 remember their committed and long-term passionate love. This short story
 touches our heart and raises our awareness that Korea must provide legal
 recognition to same sex couples just as many other countries do. [KIM Ji-yeon]
