Details
The recent political history of South Korea is interwoven with the family life of filmmaker Arum Nam, whose parents are part of the proud 386 generation, which played a significant role in achieving democratisation.
Eager to pass on a better world to their children, Arum’s father became a public servant, and her mother a feminist activist. Democracy was hard-baked into young Arum’s world view, but, confronted with the Sewol ferry disaster at the age of 18, she begins question the system crafted by her parents’ generation.
With the lightest of touches, Arum’s playful, personal film explores recent Korean history and the complexities of family dynamics. As an emerging filmmaker, Arum must reevaluate the paths her once-idealistic parents have taken, and consider the responsibilities of her own generation.
