Synopsis
Set in 15th century Korea, Kil-rye’s poor family weds her to an official’s deceased son. She endures her suffering stoically, submitting to the cruel logic governing her life as it moves to an inevitable conclusion. This highly-controversial film confronted Koreans with the incredible extent of women’s oppression during the Joseon era. So merciless was its demystification of this golden age that critics almost called it treason, inadvertently underlining the persistence of male domination in contemporary Korea.
