(So Yong Kim, USA/South Korea, 2007, 35mm, 89 min)
In this quiet gem of a film, a semi-autobiographical work by Korean-American filmmaker So Yong Kim, sisters Jin and Bin live in a middle-class Seoul apartment. Jin is a serious girl, mature beyond her years. She cares for her sister after school while their single mother works. After a series of events that uproot the pair, they adapt to each circumstance anew, learning to rely on each other after so many disappointments from adults.
“Life-affirming. Beautifully natural performances.” —Variety
