Program Note
The Day I Became a Woman, a landmark in Asian women’s cinema, weaves together the stories of three women—Hava, Ahoo, and Hoora—into a series of episodes. On her ninth birthday, a young girl named Hava is told that today is the day she becomes a woman, and she is no longer allowed to go outside or play with boys. A young woman, Ahoo, defies her husband and family to participate in a women′s bicycle race along a coastal road. An elderly woman, Hoora, loads a giant raft with her belongings and sets sail into the open sea. This narrative could be about the events that happen to three women in a single day, or it could be the lifelong story of one woman progressing through childhood, youth, and old age. We invite you to see this classic of women′s cinema on the big screen, which captivatingly unfolds the universal yet unique structure of the female experience. (HONG Soin)
