An Old Woman's Dream

Title auto-translated

by Baek Wondal

Synopsis

Bomhui once dreamed of becoming a painter, but gave up that dream and now runs a small neighborhood art school. One day, an elderly woman named Chunae walks through her door — not to learn painting for pleasure, but to paint her own self-portrait to be used as the photograph at her funeral. Over the course of ten lessons together, Bomhui finds herself looking back on her own life and the wounds she has carried, while Chunae works toward completing her portrait and fulfilling one final dream. From the creator of Painter Salieri comes a quietly moving story about all of us walking, in our own way, toward the twilight of our lives.
