Ode to My Father Page #7

Synopsis: Amid the chaos of refugees fleeing the Korean War in December 1950, a young boy, Duk-soo, sees his fate change in the blink of an eye when he loses track of his younger sister and he leaves his father behind to find her. Settling in Busan, Duk-soo devotes himself to his remaining family, working all manner of odd jobs to support them in place of his father. His dedication leads him first to the deadly coal mines of Germany, where he meets his first love, Youngja, and then to war-torn Vietnam in this generational epic about one man's personal sacrifices.

Stand up straight here.

Which song will you sing?

Pororo?

Then what?

How about your favorite,

"When the Sun Rises?"

Then what?

At Hungnam Port,

where a snowstorm raged on

- I shouted your name

- Oh, that's great!

And searched for you

How could you teach this

to a little girl?

- Where did you go, Geum-soon?

- God, you're stubborn...

- Where are you wandering?

- Really, Dad!

- Oh, my stomach.

- Crying in anguish,

I left alone

in the retreat of January 4

Dad.

I kept my promise.

And I found Maksoon.

In that sense,

I've lived well enough.

But you know,

it was so hard...

Don't cry, Duk-soo.

Dad.

I know how hard

it was for you.

And I'll always be thankful.

You did all the things

that I couldn't do.

Dad...

I missed you so much!

I know...

I missed you too, always.

Then what was

your dream as a girl?

To meet a handsome man,

and have a happy family.

Congratulations.

Your dream came true perfectly.

I don't think so.

What?

You regret marrying me?

Then why did you marry me?

Because you're pretty.

Nice to hear,

even if it's a lie.

Then why did you marry me?

Because I love you.

Nice to hear,

even if it's a lie.

Let's sell it.

What?

The shop.

Oh my...

you've finally grown up.

Surely by HOW.

He's too old to come.
