The domestic life of retired man Chang-sik and his bed-ridden wife Gil-soon begins to collapse when Gil-soon develops a bedsore that refuses to heal. The tense situation throws the precarious status of Gil-soon’s caretaker Sook-ok (an undocumented Korean Chinese immigrant) into sharp relief, culminating in an awkward confrontation between husband and caretaker. While the older couple’s adult children reprimand their father for crossing boundaries and violating the caretaker’s dignity, old familial wounds reveal themselves.
This screening is followed by a Q&A with director Shim Hyejung, moderated by writer Ming Ho.
Screening as part of the LKFF 2019’s Women’s Voices programme strand.
