There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

As a grandmother in her 60s begins coping with memory loss and family problems, she finds solace and meaning in poetry. Writer-director Lee Chang-Dong (BURNING) avoids the pitfalls of sentimentality and mawkishness as he creates a work of intensity and rare beauty.
