Taekwondo
1998, Korean. Directed by Moon Seung-wook.
South Korean Kim lives alone in Warsaw, Poland, where he teaches taekwondo. His wife and daughter live in Berlin, just six hours away by train, but he's been traveling around Europe for 10 years and hesitates to even send a birthday card to his daughter. One day, he finds the bag of a woman, Yola (Eva Gabriluk), who has been pickpocketed, and the two become close. Another chance encounter with a delinquent young man, Mihau (Pavogiu Bourcik), brings them together, and they become an important part of Kim's life. Through Yola, Kim reconnects with lost feelings of love, and the always-flirtatious and unruly Mihau reminds him of his own restless youth...
