Program Note
Intellectually disabled Seokku runs a rice mill in a rural village, and is close to the local residents. The village’s Catholic priest takes good care of him though he lacks intelligence. One day, Eunji, a runaway girl appears in the village. He becomes friends with her while she looks for her father, but one night there is an unsavory incident at the mill. A teacher at a shelter where Eunji is staying believes Seokku sexually harassed her, but the priest insists that he would never do that. Where is the truth? Whatever it is, Seokku is an intellectually challenged person who cannot defend himself properly. Residents of the village, who used to treat him with affection, turn their backs on him and the law does not allow him to see Eunji again. The movie criticizes the harsh prejudices that make Seokku a criminal. Now that sexual violence has emerged as a social issue, the question the movie asks is controversial. Are you a teacher who criticizes him? Or are you a priest defending him? (Nam Dong-chul)
