The ShowerSo-na-gi

Synopsis

This sensitive, painterly evocation of two children's life experiences will introduce new viewers to an iconic Korean short story by Hwang Sun-Won. Originally published in the 1950s, Hwang's story depicts a country boy's curiosity about a girl from Seoul, who plays alone by a stream. The animated version, directed by Ahn Jae-Hoon and Han Hye-Jin, fondly shows the endless moments of childhood. The youngsters' emotions run far deeper than the inarticulate words they have to express them. Note how the boy's deepest emotional shock is conveyed on screen.
