PROGRAM NOTE

 Having been living away from home to study for the
 civil service exams, Hyun-ji temporarily returns to
 home where her family lives after taking the exam.
 Her mom sacrificed and gave up everything to solely
 live and take care of her family, while the two men
 in the family, Hyun-ji\'s dad and younger brother, are
 like parasitic plants. This film captures quite well the
 hidden side of the family – the fact that it is the family
 members who witness the greatest flaws of each other
 and are often the ones that make each other\'s lives
 harder more than anyone, precisely because they are
 family. [KANG Ba-da]
