Poetry (2010)

Other name: 시

Description:

Poetry is a profound film chronicling the challenging life of an elderly woman in her sixties. She dedicates her days as a caregiver for a disabled man while single-handedly raising her beloved grandson. Her existence, already demanding, faces a devastating new trial with the onset of Alzheimer's disease, slowly threatening to erase her memories and lucidity.

Despite this harrowing personal battle, she bravely clings to a lifelong ambition: to become a poet. The story beautifully captures her struggle to find her voice and express her innermost thoughts through verse, even as her mind begins its cruel decline. This poignant narrative explores themes of resilience, the enduring power of art, and the human spirit's remarkable capacity to pursue dreams against overwhelming odds, offering a deeply moving portrayal of strength in vulnerability.
