Shall Cuckoo Sing at Night (1980)

0 (0)

Dori lives with his elderly mother in a secluded, mountainous woodland area. While he is perfectly content to spend his days felling trees, chopping and burning wood to make charcoal to sell at a local market, his mother is desperate to see her son married, often praying at a homemade shrine for a suitable woman to be ‘sent down’. So, when the old woman comes across a young girl – Soo-ni – lost and alone in the woods she immediately thinks her prayers have been answered and takes the child home telling her son that she'll be the perfect wife for him in a few years time, when she reaches a suitable age. Years pass with Soo-ni blossoming into a beautiful young woman and, sure enough, once she reaches 18 years of age, she and the simple charcoal maker become man and wife. However, Soo-ni’s beauty is also a beacon to far more unscrupulous and self-serving individuals who will stop at nothing in their attempts to have their wicked way with her, fully prepared to utterly devastate Soo-ni and her husband's idyllic life to do so...
