WAITING by KEUM SUK GENDRY-KIM

SYNOPSIS:

Gwija is 92 years old and lives in South Korea. After decades of waiting, she wishes to reunite with her eldest son. She lost sight of him in a column of refugees, fleeing from the north, while breastfeeding the baby she carried in her arms. In a meeting sponsored by the Red Cross, her friend Jeong-Sun has just reunited with her younger sister after sixty-eight years apart. Gwija only wishes she could follow in their footsteps in a new edition.

In 1950, the Korean War separated entire families, leaving them on either side of an impassable border. Based on interviews Keum Suk Gendry-Kim conducted with several witnesses (including her own mother), The Waiting reconstructs the trauma of an entire generation of Koreans, now almost forgotten, who continue to await a reunion.
