Program Note

Among the issues recent films have focused on, one is the extreme interest and discipline towards the body. It is a drastic obsession that goes beyond routine body care. It seems that the body is the only realm where we can have control over life of our own. Middle-aged bodybuilder Edina’s life is the same. She earned her place in the world bodybuilding competition, but the financial reality is that she can’t afford any anabolic steroids. Edina begins a quasi-prostitution job out of desperation and falls for one of her clients, K. She also clashes with her trainer and her lover, Adam. Her life stories of different elements, her determination, the harsh reality, and fantasy from her relationship with K unfold on the stage of her body. The film gives us all an intense thrill when they announce the winner at the end. (Jin PARK)
