The father, over 60 years old, is a typical Korean patriarch. The man who rides roughshod over his wife and children is passionate about his children’s education, and is one-sided in his conversation with his family. Oldest of his six brothers and sisters, the father takes for granted the sacrifice of his wife, who has lived as the oldest daughter-in-law in the family for over 30 years. However, the family members realize that they can no longer continue the relationship with their father as they used to. The mother, after years of deprivation, starts to feel lonely, and the children start to feel pity toward their father. The father in the meantime becomes perplexed, unable to find his place in the family. The film is particularly exceptional in its description of personal details. (Hong Hyosook)
