Program Note
Korean society is extremely competitive, and sometimes you have to get dirt on your hands in order to survive. Of course, not all succeed after doing so. This is the case of the family in Come, Together. Middle-aged Bumgoo, his family’s breadwinner, is one day fired without notice. His wife, Miyoung, sells credit cards and struggles to become the top salesperson in her company. Hana, their daughter, nervously awaits the results of her university entrance exam. While wallowing in misery at home, Bumgoo visits his neighbor to complain about noise emanating from their home. There, he encounters a most unexpected situation, which turns his normal day into something positively peculiar. Miyoung goes to extraordinary lengths to climb to the top but this only worsens her situation. And Hana, ashamed, lies about passing her exam. Can this family survive the harsh competitiveness of society? Come, Together takes a pointed look at Korea. Everybody tries their best, but doing so doesn’t always improve their lives. Sometimes the harder you try, the worse things can get and the fainter hope becomes.
