An Ephemeral Life
2006, Korean. Directed by Hong Ki-seon.
Mr. Doh drives a forklift at a factory. After receiving an urgent message indicating that his mother is in critical condition, he tries to take some time off. The answer from his boss is “No way” because he is an irregular worker. He gives up taking time off since it should deduct from his monthly salary. Upon hearing his sister’s anxious words, “Your mother is sick, how could you not… Are you sure you are not going?” Mr. Doh enters the gate of the factory again. He tries to pray for his mother by taking a bible from the library, but the wall of the staff library is even higher than the Berlin Wall for him, an irregular worker.
