Mongsil

　　A famous story by Kwon Jeong-saeng is screened. The original story is known for its lyricism and unique yet popular narrative. However, in the camera of Lee Jisang, Kwon Jeong-saeng’s bestseller is transformed into the portrait of the past that lives in much more of a vague and uncertain life. The past is dotted with war and poverty, but Mongsil and her family live on, enduring hunger and suffering. Paternal violence, represented by her father, and phases of times, in which no one can take care of others, are the pain itself.
　　Lee Jisang calmly follows the life of Mongsil and observes her growth with a contemplative perspective. Her patient and passive stance signifies her growth into a better life.
