Sang-yeon is a confident and competent political reporter who lives a carefully planned life. After a long wait, she gives birth to twins, but the second one, Ji-woo, is diagnosed with a second-degree developmental disability. That’s when things change. Sang-yeon can no longer be the same person, and everything turns upside down. Based on the autobiographical story of a former journalist and mother of a child with a disability, the film spans over a decade and reveals, through various anecdotes, the very real and concrete challenges that parents and families with disabled children face. In particular, it is when Ji-woo enters elementary school that the prejudicial stigma surrounding disability and the loopholes in the system officially come into play. It takes Sang-yeon a long time to accept the movie’s message that “disability is not something to be cured but a way of life” into her own life. This time taken will overlap and resonate with the time outside of the movie for a while, leaving us with long questions and a long aftermath. (JEONG Jihye)
