SYNOPSIS


So Rong Go, a Mongolian woman, and Myung-jin, an abstract painter who comes from outside of Korea both live in Seoul and share similar troubles in daily life, but have never met each other. This film uses the backgrounds of Hong Dae street, Dongdae-moon, and Jo-Gye temple to portray the women¡¯s daily lives, memories, wounded hearts, doubts and regrets, and hopes and desires. They both try hard to establish their lives in Seoul, remembering their past 10 years and dealing with their present by observing a 10 year old girl on a kickboard. Even though they were brought up indifferent circumstances, their way of thinking as women and the common aspects of their daily lives give the women a magical connection. (BYUN Jai-ran)
