Movie description:
Seven-year-old Sang-woo is left with his grandmother in a remote village while his mother looks for work. Born and raised in the city, Sang-woo quickly comes into conflict with his old-fashioned grandmother and his new rural surroundings. Disrespectful and selfish, Sang-woo lashes out in anger, perceiving that he has been abandoned. He trades his grandmother’s only treasure for a video game; he throws his food and he throws tantrums. When Sang-woo’s mother finds work and finally returns for him, Sang-woo has become a different boy. Through his grandmother’s boundless patience and devotion, he learns to embrace empathy, humility and the importance of family.
A spoiled South Korean boy, Sang-Woo, from the city is left for the summer in the care of his mute grandmother who lives up in the mountains. When his portable videogame’s batteries run low, he takes off for the local village to get more, but he gets lost, not remembering ... the way home. Over the course of the summer, the boy gets used to his grandmother, whom he once made fun of, calling her a »retard« (as well as hiding her shoes so she has to walk over sharp rocks barefoot), as he gets used to the simpler ways of life in the country, and learns the importance of love and respect for one’s family and elders.
