WORLD PREMIERE An ode to the enduring love and raw humor between a sharp-tongued, famous Korean cook and her devoted youngest son. Told from his autobiographical perspective, the film moves fluidly across time, weaving memories, caregiving rituals, funeral rites, and art into a lyrical meditation on grief. With tenderness and wit, it reveals how loss transforms into creativity and how intergenerational bonds persist beyond death. - Ruth Somalo
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Seung-pyo Hong and producer Jun Lim.
