Program Note
Dong-chun is a tired elementary school student who has been shuttled from one school to the next with enthusiasm by her mother, but finds that she does not perform well at any of them. One day, she picks up a barrel of rice wine at a summer camp and takes it home with her out of curiosity. She then realizes that the bubbling sound of the rice wine is not merely the sound of fermentation, but words spoken to her. Now, the bubbles, in Morse code, and Farsi language combine to reveal the truth of the world. The whimsical idea of connecting the unconnected is the core appeal of the movie. At the same time, the image of Dong-chun as a reticent, nerdy, yet bold character, and the director’s choice to cast her as such, gives the movie instant appeal. To call it a comedy that casts sarcasm on the issue of private education would be an understatement. This sci-fi adventure and comic fantasy about a girl named Dong-chun is endlessly cute, exciting, funny, and subversive. Clearly rice wine has much to teach us. (JUNG Hanseok)
