 Director¡¯s statement for choosing two elderly women¡¯s communication as the theme for this documentary is touching and beautiful: ¡°I didn¡¯t know what was written in the letter, yet I could feel the affection and sadness they shared as sisters who spent their childhood together, watched each other¡¯s wedding, and now are anxious over whether or not they can meet each other before their death. I was so happy that I could help them communicate with each other and I wanted to do it again. I wanted to bring their lives together.¡± (Kim Eun-shil)
