Director Park Nam-Ok, whose film Mimangin(1955) was restored by the 1st Women’s Film Festival in Seoul, was the first woman director known to Korean film history. Kim Jae-eui’s documentary The Dream is an affectionate dedication to, and record about Park Nam-Ok. In sketches of Park Nam-Ok’s daily life, Kim Jae-eui repetitively overlaps the image of the daughter waiting for her mother in Mimangin, Park’s only film, and the recreated image of a 1950’s woman with a child on her back, struggling up stairs. In this way,
 The Dream shows, in calm and quiet images, the aspects of a pioneering personality who fought to make her film in the sexually discriminating social structure of the film world, the difficulties she had as a woman and a mother, and her dreams as a director always thinking of new films.
