An Old Lady

Hyo-Jeong, a 69-year-old woman, is raped by a male nurse aide, but few people, including the police, are willing to believe her words. Most question whether that handsome young man really would have done so. The male nurse aide claims that it was a consensual sexual relationship. Only Dong-In, who loves Hyo-Jeong dearly, tries to help her fight this injustice.

Lim Sun-Ae’s mysterious and engrossing feature debut quietly challenges society’s morals and prejudices. The film is well-composed with excellent cinematography, and the music score captures the film’s enigmatic mood, adding to the understated but effective drama.
