Hyunshil JANG CHA (Age 43) draws comics that are mostly about woman and about disability. Dong-Il SEO (Me, Age 36) is a documentary director who is 7 years younger than her.

- Director's Note
-
My family`s daily life is faced with the prejudiced opinions about disability, age, and gender. Through ingenuous expression of each family member`s psyche, I will show how such prejudices affect the life and mind of my family members. Also, I hope to show my family`s own way of life in trying to overcome them.
