A Son

KIM Bong-ju

Korea2018 13min World Premiere

Synopsis

Ji-hye, the working mother, has an important meeting this morning. However, there is no one to take care of 13-month- old Min-jun. Eventually, she took Min-jun to the company parking lot. To make matters worse, the baby's crying never stops. There is no way or time left.

Program Note

Ji-hye’s morning is a war, unlike the classical music peacefully filling the car. After the call saying the babysitter will be late, she drives round the car park, hoping her child to fall asleep. As her phone continues to ring, she spots the sleeping pills, now working mom, Ji-hye, looks pitiful and on the edge. (JE Jeong-ju)
