잡식가족의 딜레마
- 한국 환경영화의 흐름
| Synopsis | This film takes place during the winter of last year when there was a nationwide slaughter of livestock to put a stop to the foot-and-mouth outbreak. Filmmaker Yun goes deep into the mountains to meet a pig farmer who was raising his pigs in an old fashioned manner. As Yun observes the daily routines of the sow ‘Ship-Soon’ and her piglet ‘Don-Soo’, she discovers new facts she had never known before… As she develops a bond with the lovely pigs and acknowledges another side of the farm, it becomes more difficult for her to enjoy pork cutlets as she used to. And to make matters worse, her husband and young son Do-Young isn’t making her choice of daily menus easier. As she falls into a deep dilemma, what is there in store for her now? |
