Secret Sunshine
Presented with the Media Resource Centre and KOFIC (Korean Film Council)Korea On Screen
Director LEE Chang-dong Feature
Recently widowed, Shin-ae (JEON Do-youn) and her son move from Seoul to a small town, her late husband’s birthplace. Having given up a career as a concert pianist when she married, she sets up a piano school in town and enrols her son in school but the move is not quite the new beginning that Shin-ae anticipated. Locals prove to be gossipy and tragedy strikes leaving her distraught and vulnerable. It is at this point that writer / director LEE Chang-dong intensifies the story with a captivating twist involving Shin-ae’s recruitment to a Christian group. The film has received noteworthy awards: Best Film at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards and JEON Do-youn was the first Korean to ever win Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival.
