Program Note
Sohyun, a runaway, is left alone after her close friend Jungho disappears. By accident, she gets to know a transgender woman named Jane. She joins Jane and her close-knit community of runaways, who are as comforting and loving as a real family. Sohyun feels happy and at peace. But her happiness does not last long. There is something wrong with Jane’s health. Jane is a film that parallels two stories about Sohyun. One seems to be the reality, the other an imagination, yet it’s vague which is which. Perhaps both are realities or imaginations. In any case, the two stories reveal the lives of runaway teens. Based on hierarchy, the runaway family functions like a patriarchal one, a reality Sohyun knows all too well. However, as soon as Jane steps in as the patriarch, the lives of the teens change. A familiar face from Reply 1988, Lee Min-ji plays the lead character and director/actor Koo Kyohwan stars as Jane.
