Program Note
The setting is an isolated beach in the South Pacific where mangroves grow. A European woman returns to this Mexican beach with her son after years of life abroad. Will she be able to make peace with the ghosts of the past? This wonderful piece is set off by the mysterious aura formed by the intertwining of reality and dream, and was entered in the Locarno competition. It has the power to draw the audience into its peculiar journey. The detailed and powerful production brings to life the theme of the movie ?reconciliation with the past and forgiveness. The dancing waves coexist with the great mangrove jungle. This jungle is intimidating to foreigners, but they can find within it a fantastic yet hopeless world. The plot is a maze of riddles that finally comes to its climax when the woman’s story is revealed at the end. Except for the leading role, all the actors in the film were local residents in this low budged movie. (RHEE, Soue-won)
