Program Note
Jin-wook is relocated to Seoul after finishing his training at Hanawon, the training institute for Korean refugees. On his first day in Seoul, Jin-wook gets lost after shopping for bedding. Jin-wook takes a cab to find his way back home and meets a female cab driver who is also a refugee from North Korea. A few days later, Jin-wook meets Tingyun, an illegal immigrant from Vietnam, while on a bus to Pusan. Tingyun had wanted to go to Buan to find his girlfriend but instead took a bus to Pusan because he doesn’t understand Korean very well. Jin-wook decides to take Tingyun to Buan and help him. The film follows his journey quietly…how Jin-wook comes across with people who are outsiders of Korean society and how the social outcasts of Korea struggles with all the barriers, such as language, culture and overpowered capitalism.
