The Seoul International Senior Film Festival has selected (Im)Patient by Constanza Fernandez as the opening film this year. This comedy film begins with the weakening body of an elderly, gradually revealing the blind spots of the health system. Colorful characters and dramatic situations that cause laughter take the form of a family comedy to alleviate the heaviness of the subject matter to some extent while portraying through their daily life the misperception and discrimination brought by the notion of senescence. (Im)Patient contemplates the absurdity of everyday life that no one can avoid once they are defined as vulnerable. At the same time, it challenges us to overturn such absurdity and to think about human life and the positioning of the elderly.
<Synopsis> In a hidden place, the daily routine of a retirement home unfolds as time seems to stand still. The penciled residents come to life on paper. Some are active, others rest or follow a fixed schedule to be repeated each day: medication, meals, games… Around them, machines are flashing, caregivers are busy and some crucifixes remind them of the death that lies in wait. Time fades aw...
Closing Film
<Synopsis> Five sisters gather at the big sister's house in memory of their late mother. Hyejung, the big sister, proposes that they send their half brother on a trip to Hawaii for his 70th birthday, but Junghee, the youngest, has a long kept secret to tell.
