Bongja

Directed by Park Chulsoo

Headstrong Bongja is a naive 30-something peddler whose simple life is turned upside down when a teenage girl takes over her house. Although irritated by the girl’s antics Bongja can’t help but feel drawn to her. A landmark film both for introducing a lesbian theme in a mainstream Korean movie, and for being one of the first digitally shot Korean films.
