Chan-Sil, a film producer, finds herself abruptly unemployed after the film director’s sudden death she’s spent her career working for. Now jobless and running low on money, she takes a position as a cleaning lady for an actress, Sophie. By chance, she encounters Sophie’s’ French tutor, Kim Young, who immediately catches her eye. Meanwhile, Chan-Sil moves into a new place and quickly befriends her landlady, an older woman who offers perspective on Chan-Sil’s life transition. This Korean indie film offers the story of a passionate woman and the people around her, all ordinary and struggling with life in their own ways. Introduction by Hyeyon Moon (School of Continuing and Professional Studies, UVA).
