Warning: Spoilers
A movie about the bond between a granddaughter and her grandmother. The story is very moving: a grandmother is raising her little granddaughter alone, after her son died and her daughter in law ran away. They do seem very happy with each other, until the grandchild goes missing. Twelve years later, she comes back, after facing hardships in Seoul, and reunites with her grandmother that hadn't stopped looking for her. This movie starts with the simple theme of the grandparent-grandchild bond, but has many twists in it even till the very end. The performances were perfect, with the granny being very moving and the granddaughter's character maturing slowly during the process of the film. Great landscapes and impressive paintings, as well as the representation of the country life are creating the perfect mix for this amazing movie, so 8 out of 10.
