A stranger makes one suggestion to Misuk, whose wish is to return home from a nursing home. If Misuk brings a young person’s hair, she will send Misuk home.

Program Note

Forced into a miserable nursing home by her daughter, a lonely grandmother faces her fear of abandonment. A shaman witness to her tragedy, offers a devil’s deal. This genre film realistically portrays the haunting theme of old age, where one wanders without a place to go. Jeon Sohyun’s powerful performance as Grandmother Misuk infuses the cold hospital room with passionate energy. (PARK Got)
