Family Ties
Directed: Kim Tae-yong
Starring: So-ri Moon, Hyo-jin Kong
Three different stories told at different times and tied together at the end. Seen at the Portland International Film Festival.
The first story is about a young woman who is excited when her brother who has been away with no communication for five years until he arrives with a much older woman has his wife. She looks old enough to be his mother. He expects his sister to take them both in while he talks about big plans, yet has no follow through. She tries to be nice to him and his new wife, but she is not happy. There is a lot of tension and build up before it all comes to a head.
