Kim Hee-jung : 2015
Seol haeng
Jeong-woo, a young alcoholic arrives for treatment at a sanatorium run by nuns. Although not normally permitted, his mother arranged an exemption that allows him to spend the winter there. As the only patient, he soon succumbs to a sense of loneliness – the convent's strict rules do not offer much in the way of stimulation and he fails to become friends with the nuns. Eventually, however, one of them grows close to him. But Maria is no ordinary individual. She has visionary dreams and betrays signs of saintliness. A second patient is then admitted, a strange hunter who violates the convent's rules and leads Jeong-woo down the wrong path. Kim Hee-jung's dark, dramatic and dreamlike tale, her third feature, premiered at Jeonju International Film Festival 2015, and had its European premiere at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2015.
