A young woman is approached with a strange request: impersonate the prodigal daughter of a man now on his deathbed. The man’s only wish is to see his daughter again so he can die in peace. Lee Yoon-ki’s independent feature probes the nature of family relationships and asks whether deception is sometimes better than the truth. The screening is preceded by a 1 pm panel discussion with the director. (See the Talks section.) Free tickets (2 per person) to both events are available at the Freer beginning at 12 noon on a first-come, first-served basis. Part of the Korean Film Festival D.C. (2006, 100 minutes, Korean with English subtitles)
