1998 Jeju, 18-year-old Young-oak hates the name his mother gave him. It sounds feminine and old-fashioned, and turns him into a target for bullying at school. His mother, Jeong-sun, is haunted by something she cannot reach: sudden seizures, missing childhood memories, and a terror without a name. As Young-oak’s burgeoning discomfort about his name, his mother, and his circumstances turns more violent, Jeong-sun begins to unearth long-repressed childhood memories. What she recovers leads her back to one of modern Korea’s silenced traumas, and to a tragedy her family had almost buried forever. Veteran director Chung Ji-young shapes this intimate devastation into an intense, clear-eyed drama, anchored by Yeom Hye-ran’s raw and commanding performance. World premiered in the Berlinale Forum.
