SYNOPSIS

I have lived and worked in Europe since 2002. In 2016, I went to see my parents in South Korea with my one-year-old son. During the stay, I had to decide whether I should send my mother, who suffers from Parkinson's Syndrome, to a nursing home to relieve my father. It is a story of generations at a crossroad, the very moment when my son began to learn to walk while my mother started to forget to do so.​

 

PROGRAM NOTE

A mother who loses her life piece by piece as her illness deepens, a father who takes care of her and the daughter who returns to Korea after a long time with her one-year-old son. Rather than portraying the strong emotional flow, the director steps back and reflects on the relationship between her parents and herself in the relationship between herself and his son, as if standing in front of a mirror. [HWANG Miyojo]
