Ajoomma (2022)

Other name: 아줌마, Ajumma

Description:

A Singaporean ajoomma, whose life centers around her estranged son and the comforting escape of Korean TV dramas, finds herself on an unexpected solo adventure. After her son cancels their meticulously planned Korean holiday tour for a job interview, the timid auntie, who has never traveled abroad alone, courageously decides to embark on the trip by herself, partly spurred by a substantial cancellation fee. Arriving in Korea, she anticipates the romanticized, drama-like reality she's always dreamed of. Instead, her journey quickly spirals as she's met with a surprising, often shocking, reality far removed from television. From getting lost to becoming unexpectedly entangled in a violent incident, her trip takes a dramatic turn for the worse. This heartwarming Singaporean-South Korean coproduction explores whether this ordinary woman can navigate the chaos, find her way, and ultimately rediscover a new self in an unfamiliar land.
