Container

A working-class residential village suffers from a flood. Without proper relief measures in place, the flood victims have no choice but to stay inside a cramped, filthy container together temporarily. A young girl named Gyeongju who is staying there with her mother notices Eunae who is by herself. In the midst of the poverty, redevelopment scheme and the cold selfishness of the grown-ups within the community, Gyeongju’s gaze upon Eunae is completely free from any prejudice. The film is a powerful portrayal of the barren landscape of the village soon to be demolished and a young girl who cannot find peace of mind. [JUNG Jiyoun]

Sannari

Deep in the mountains, a gold-rayed lily (Sannari) is in bloom in front of a dark cave. The red lily looks hideous in the middle of deep greens. It beckons to people to come over and see it so as to learn about peace. Sannari tells you to ‘look aside, not far from you,’ ‘look at the half of people who got sacrificed by anti-communist ideology,’ and says that ‘I am your wound,’ ‘How can you coexist with North Koreans, unless you accept even me.’ Peace begins with this enlightenment.

Testimony

Hyein, who has been working as a secretary at 'Yoo Seung Precision', a small business, and was fired due to contract expiration, visits 'Yoo Seung Precision', her former workplace, to get a career certificate ahead of an upcoming interview at a large company. However, the real purpose of her visit is to get back the 67,600 won, which the manager Jin Sang-i of the same team has not paid back for running errands for coffee and sandwiches. When she finally arrives at her office, she asks Hye-in Lee to return her money, but she only gets 50,000 won. The only thing she approached the frustrated Hye-in was the (but awkward) Deputy Oh, who was the only female employee on the same team.

Haewon

According to a survey by the U.S. military government in 1946, 78% of the South Korean people wanted socialism and only 14% capitalism. By appointing the pro-Japanese collaborators and the rightists, Rhee Syngman, who had not received the people's support, massacred those groups and civilians that were political stumbling blocks. In dealing with the Jeju 4.3 uprising in 1947 and the Yeosun incident in 1948 and The Korean War having broken out, massive civilian massacre became regularized.

Father, Brother

The names of the two ‘fathers’ encapsulate Korea's contemporary history. The older priest is known as ‘Father Gang’, symbolizing his fight against corrupt authority. The younger priest, on the other hand, is known as ‘Father Red’ for his advocacy of Korean reunification and for crossing the armistice line. These two figures were pivotal in challenging Park Chunghee's authoritarian regime, participating in the pro-democracy movement against military rule, advocating Lim Sukyung's visit to North Korea, protesting against U.S. military bases, addressing the Yongsan disaster, and standing up against the Jeju Gangjeong village incident. Their church provided solace to the vulnerable and marginalized.
