Yim Pil-sung : 2014
Madam Bbaengduk
Eight years ago, university professor Hak-kyu moved to a small town because of a scandal and began working as a literature instructor at a culture centre. He fell in love with a young woman, Deok-yi, who worked at an old amusement park. Once Hak-kyu was reinstated at the university he left the town for Seoul, leaving Deok-yi behind. Deok-yi refused to let the relationship die, and a confrontation between them turned tragic when Hak-kyu's wife committed suicide. Eight years later, Hak-kyu is a popular writer, but now almost blind and estranged from his daughter Chungee. He befriends a new neighbour, Se-jung. He gladly accepts her help and Chungee becomes attached to her, neither realising she is in fact Deok-yi whom he betrayed and that she is on a quest to destroy them. A modern-day adaption of Shim Chung, a classic Korean folktale. Yim Pil-sung's third feature premiered at Toronto International Film Festival 2014.
