Kim Bo-ra : 2018
Beol-sae
Korea, 1994. The South is in the grips of World Cup fever, while the North mourns its newly deceased dictator. Eun-hee registers all of this only in passing. Drifting through her days in Seoul, the eighth-grader feels like an outsider everywhere: at school, where her classmates bore her even more than the schoolwork, and at home, where her parents are always at each other's throats and her brother beats her. She tries to fall in love, has to go to hospital after an inconclusive biopsy, and has a falling-out with her best friend – yet nothing moves her with the same unexpected intensity as when a new Chinese tutor enters her life. With visual precision, the film weaves a dense narrative around a regular summer that leaves nothing unchanged. Kim Bo-ra's feature premiered at Busan International Film Festival 2018, and was winner of the Grand Prix of the Generation 14plus International Jury at its European premiere at Berlin International Film Festival 2019.
