 Program Note
 Director Torill KOVE¡¯s grandmother often told her story about ironing shirts for the King of Norway. Director KOVE weaves a story like a fabric from this personal story and historical events back then. Her grandmother might have launched guerrilla warfare to resist the Nazis. The director combines her grandmother¡¯s life and tales with her imagination and fantasy and historical facts, which renders the film into a mythical legend. It is a myth or sharp humor created at the intersection of official history and personal history. (CHO Hye-young)
