Jong-bun, in her eighties, is one of the last surviving 'Comfort Women' victims forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Army during World War II. Back in 1944, at the end of the Japanese occupation in Korea, Jong-bun was a poor but energetic girl while Young-ae was the smart rich clerk's daughter. One day, Jong-bun gets abducted and finds herself on a train for Manchuria. To her surprise, she also finds Young-ae on the train facing the same fate to become a comfort woman. Jong-bun and Young-ae help each other go through the living hell and as the war comes to an end, they finally escape from the comfort women camp, only to face two different paths of life. Decades later, Jong-bun helps out a teenaged girl who is disoriented in life, reminded of her own painful past.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Lee Na constructs the narrative on the contrast of two timelines, relying on quiet, almost tactile details to convey trauma. She explores memory as a living fabric, where the past does not let go but breathes softly in every frame of the present.

What lingers after the viewing is a profound sense of quiet dignity and the weight of unspoken history. The film’s power lies in its restraint and the profound connection it forges between its characters across time. — MovieFinder Editorial
