SORRY SORRY SORRY, 24min., South Korea
Directed by Shin Hea KIM
Suna, 70, lives in a 50-year-old traditional Hanok with her 80-year-old husband, Ihan. Once a devoted provider, Ihan has been bedridden for five years following a stroke. As their children remain distant and Ihan rejects outside caregivers out of pride, the entire burden of his survival falls solely on Suna. Despite his physical dependence, Ihan’s ego remains inflated; clinging to his past contributions, he ignores Suna’s own aging and agony. He stubbornly refuses nursing home care, fearing he will be treated like a discarded object, while Suna quietly dreads the insurmountable medical costs following his long retirement.
