1973, Korean. Directed by Kang Dae-sun.
Following his wife’s dying wish, Young-gu moves to Seoul with his young son and a loyal servant, Yong-pal. Struggling to adapt to city life, he encounters scams, hardship, and fleeting moments of connection, only to lose what little stability he builds. Placing his hopes in his son’s education, Young-gu perseveres until the boy succeeds in school. Encouraged by a teacher’s advice, he ultimately chooses to return to the countryside, seeking a more honest and stable life.
