With the blessings of her husband, Kim heads to the television station, all the while flashbacking to her youth during the war. Korean with English subtitles. 1986. Im Kwon-Teik. 97 mins. The film will be proceeded by a brief introduction and followed by a discussion session led by Ms. Jeeyoung Shin, an IU graduate student from South Korea.
