Program Note
A Letter from Kyoto is an outstanding family drama that depicts the stories
of three sisters with different personalities and their mother. The film
delicately builds up emotions in a beautiful way. Hyeyoung (Han Seonhwa),
who dreams of becoming a writer, returns home to Yeongdo, Busan
because things don′t go well for her. Yeongdo is a place where numerous
strangers flow in and establish their home, and a legend says that once you
enter the place, you cannot leave it easily. The mother of the three sisters
(Cha Mikyung) was born in Kyoto but has lived most of her life in Yeongdo,
and her eldest daughter, Hyejin (Han Chae-a), is responsible for the family′s
livelihood without leaving the region. The youngest, Hyejoo (Song Jihyun),
tries to leave Yeongdo after graduating from high school. When the film
finally reflects the new daily life of the family, which has reached a turning
point in life, the subtle vibration of life is transmitted within the calm gaze.
