Synopsis

Death is the moment in which everyone is treated equally.

100 years of memory from a Korean woman.

is about the life of a Korean woman who takes a journey through her past from the moment she passes away. The past memories of the woman's life are portrayed through her eyes.

The memories of an old woman, who has lived for a century, portray her personal life but also symbolize Korea's turbulent history including the Japanese colonial period, the Korean War and periods of starvation.

* During the traditional Korean funeral, the old lady’s soul is guided by the Kokdu through the past moments of her life. The Kokdu accompanies the woman's soul throughout her journey with care and protection. (*“Kokdu” is a wooden puppet that joins the deceased on their journey from this world to the afterlife.)

Purpose

was inspired by the question, “What happens after my grandmother passes away?"

The story of an old woman, who has been alive for nearly a century, shows not only her personal life but also symbolizes Korea's turbulent history from the Japanese colonial period and Korean War to the present.

I wish she has a beautiful and peaceful day when she embarks on her final journey. The fundamental story of this animation stems from reincarnation from an eastern perspective. This may imply that death is not merely the end of our lives.

Regarding the animation technique, this film was made using various techniques of sand animation and paint-on-glass techniques.
