At noon on Dec. 25
Seoul Selection Bookstore
Directed by Lee Jeong-cheol, this movie portrays the yearning among three members of a family composed of a father, an ex-convict daughter and her 10-year-old brother. Since the mother died six years previously, the father Ju-sok (Ju Hyeon) has made a living as a fishmonger. The daughter Jung-eun (Su-ae), ironically thinks that life in prison was more happy than at home. The story begins when Jung-eun returns home after three years of imprisonment for embezzlement. The father, however, does not and cannot greet her warmly, despite feeling somewhat relieved. The situation starts to deteriorate when a man named Chang-won visits the father. Chang-won presses Ju-sok for money still owed by his daughter. The father feels helpless in the face of the challenges he must overcome.
