Extremely powerful film with a courageous, devastating lead performance. A woman whose husband has died in a car crash moves to his hometown with her young son to start a new life. She is hit with another trauma...this film focuses on her trying to deal with everything life has thrown at her.
This was an intelligent, realistic script that showed a deep understanding of human nature...how we act in the face of adversity by clinging to each other as lifelines, regardless of the thoughts involved. The story was mercifully leavened by a comical suitor who always seemed to show up when things had gotten too heavy.
Nice work on all levels. Korea continues to produce world-class films...largely unnoticed in the Western world.
