SYNOPSIS
When Yujin receives a phone call informing that her mother has been missing, she rushes to come down to Jeju Island with her son. She can’t hear any news about her mother all night long. The next day, a wild bear comes to her front yard, saying that it is her mother.
DIRECTING INTENTION
I was glad after I came up with the story that the missing women divers in the sea become bears and they live in Mt. Halla. However, when I told the story to women divers, they didn’t seem so interested. I wish they would tell me it’s interesting in a way after they see the whole movie.
