Program Note
For his family, a man seeks the truth and justice he believes at the expense of everything. He worked hard without a day′s rest to feed his wife and children and turned the wasteland into a great farm. However, efforts do not necessarily result in rewards. Reality sometimes betrays a man′s expectations. The man′s lifelong enemy is the owner of a neighboring farm. The man hates the neighbor, who is always arguing and obstructing the man′s farm.
The man repeatedly goes to court to decide on right and wrong between the two. He remains stubborn until his justice wins. However, he gradually drifts apart from his wife and child. He abuses his wife for not giving birth to a son, while treating his daughter coldly. Can the truth and justice that he believes come true? The movie looks back on the life of a foolish man and asks questions about the true value of life. It also garnered more than 255,000 viewers this year, marking the highest box office success for an Estonian film. (Nam Dong-chul)
