Young-rim's father has black lung disease and nowhere to go now that their house has been scheduled for demolition. Any other illness would mean a bed at the local hospital. As the clock ticks down, Young-rim prepares to make an unthinkable compromise. Jeon Soo-il's poetic story of a coal-town family garnered an impressive number of awards in the art-house and international film festival circuit.
