Program Note
He had the looks. Respect from friends. A real ladies man. Now it`s all gone except for one thing. His smart and loyal doting young son. Despite fearing the father`s violence towards his mother, the boy reveals the mother`s secret plan to leave them both. Eventually the boy ends up alone with the over-beating and rapidly declining father-forced to help pay gambling debts by becoming a petty thief, despite his young years. When the father decides to visit his despairing son, a violent attack leaves the father with a missing ear. A decade later, the now grown son returns to his hometown. As he walks the empty streets, he sees a man in the distance that just might be his father … With different backgrounds, characters in this film struggled for living in cruel reality. Sometimes it was inevitable to hurt others in order to protect oneself. The son craved for a happy family life. However, his father kept untouched in spite of the son`s every effort. His parents` separation was a painful experience in the son`s childhood. In the rocky road of life, people, however, were led to maturity through these dolorous memories. (Production Note)
