SYNOPSIS
'Mother' is a very ordinary word but stands for some impossible mission. I, a documentary film maker got married without any preparation and became a mother in the same way. I was feeling bad with doubt on my qualified as a mother, but did not give up my work. During 10 years, I brought 3 children up and I can say that was the time for caring my inner self. I realize that my inner self is a child and need to care. So this film is a kind of a baby book which confesses that a person like me could be a mother.
DIRECTING INTENTION
When I am with my children, I often see what I have deep in my mind. The moments I cannot swallow sorrow or feeling my heart poked, I see my inner self as a baby. My dramatic life would be normal if there were no children. I was becoming a real grown-up while witnessing children growing up. I was lack of adroit when I brought up my first child Ha-en. Thanks to Han-byul, I came to know that child care center is a universe of children. And the last one Eun-byul, who has absolutely different strong character from her siblings, makes me to have different point of view on children in the world. These three children are heroin of this film and directors of my life. This film is a babybook of 10 years of history written by me and my children, also a baby-sitcom no one ever knows the ending.
