Synopsis

While delivering the newspaper, the girl meets a woman who lost her daughter of the same age and talks to her. The woman who went to college and worked for a magazine has the same life as the poor girl's mother.

Program Note

Two Women stages in the era when elementary schools were called national schools. The film depicts a brief encounter between two women: an educated woman who used to work as a journalist but currently distributing flyers in search of her lost daughter, and a twelve-year-old girl who has to repay the cosmetics she damaged while trying to buy her mom a birthday gift, and thus working for newspaper delivery. The conversation between the two takes place as the woman buys ice cream for the girl. It is a condensed reflection of the lives endured by women in Korean society, some of whom continue to face similar struggles. The guilt and faint despair shared between the two resonate with a commonality that transcends generations and economic conditions. This work encapsulates profound themes within a simple narrative.
