- Synopsis
- Lee Myung-hwa, the director of Aha Center, introduced me to ‘mothers of child sex crime victims’ group. At a healing event, I saw them reenact the sex crimes into dance and shed tears at the pain. I recently had a baby girl and decided to pick up my camera. I started filming those who move painfully in order to heal the wounds that nobody caresses.
- Director's Note
- I had a baby girl, and the joy could not be compared to any other. When I sometimes see a kidnapping story on the news, I wonder “how would it be if that were my child.” The thought is unimaginable. Through the ‘mothers of child sex crime victims’ group and Lee Myung-hwa, an activist, and I wanted to talk about the patriarchal life and social atmosphere. I wanted to talk about how we unconsciously commit sex crimes in our everyday life.
