Secret Sunshine

Yes.

What?

Well...

I'm not sure where we are.

We passed a sign that

said 'Miryang, 5 km'.

Jeon Do-yeon

What?

Where have I come from?

I'm not really sure.

Song Kang-ho

Song Kang-ho

I wasrt paying that much attention.

Hang on...

We're on...

...Route 20, the road between

Miryang and Chongdo.

Near the junction with Route 58.

Yeah, yeah...

You got it.

The car's emergency light is on,

you can't miss it.

Good luck!

Thank you!

Hello?

You know where we are?

As fast as you can please, yes.

Jun!

Jun!

Come out for some fresh air.

I'm going to drop you!

What's this?

Get up! Get up!

You're all dirty!

Turn around!

This is nice, isn't it?

What is?

The sunshine.

Jun... this is Daddy's hometown.

Remember how he always wanted

to move here?

But Daddy isn't here.

That's right...

But we have each other.

Oh, we're stuck!

It's true,

we're stuck together!

Hey, young man...

What's with your hair?

How old are you?

You having a bad day?

Got any chewing gum?

Chewing gum? Nope.

- First time in Miryang?

- Yes, it is.

Visiting?

No, we're going to live here.

You're moving here?

Jong-chan here, you okay?

I'm on a job.

My client,

she's from Seoul...

She's looking

for a place here.

To live and work...

A kind of piano school.

What?

Come on!

Okay, great!

He sells real estate,

a good friend of mine.

What's Miryang like?

What's it like?

Where to begin?

The local population is falling.

It's fairly right-wing.

We're close to Busan,

the dialect's similar.

We speak fast.

Many people have moved away.

You know what 'Miryang' means?

What it means?

We don't live by the meaning,

but we know what it is

In Chinese, it means...

...'secret sunshine'.

Like it?

Secret sunshine...

Sounds okay...

It's windy today...

Directed by Lee Chang-dong

To your right.

Good morning.

Hi there.

You wear panties under that?

The kind cheerleaders wear?

No.

Just ordinary panties?

Good for hot weather, huh?

Arert they pants?

Girls do wear them these days.

They can't be pants.

You know those cheeleader panties.

The tiny, tight ones.

But she says hers are

ordinary ones.

Can you see?

I'd like a look myself.

If I lean over a bit...

Saw them!

Mrs Lee!

I hope you'll welcome

our new piano school...

Great!

Join us for a coffee.

It was just delivered.

Mr Shirs here too.

- Good morning.

- So you're open now?

That was a good deal,

fine location, low rent...

Mr Shin did you proud!

Coffee?

No thanks, we should go.

Young man!

Want some gum?

How do you do?

I hope you'll welcome

our new piano school.

You're from Seoul?

You've heard about me

Not much goes unnoticed

around here.

My husband was born here.

Really?

Excuse me...

Whenever I see your shop,

I can't help thinking...

...that business would look up...

...if you redecorated.

This side doesn't get the sun.

And it's all a bit gloomy.

Brighter colors would make the

shop more appealing.

I know, desigrs so important

these days.

So you want me to redecorate?

A new coat of paint would

work wonders.

I'll think about it.

Have a good day's business.

You've had lunch?

Too busy for me,

you sonuvabitch?

Your kid learns piano, no?

You should change teacher.

A friend of mine has opened

a new piano school.

She graduated from music

academy in Seoul.

She's won prizes

in piano competitions.

She's the real deal, if you

get my meaning.

One of a kind in Miryang.

June Piano School!

Great, name... June!

Like the 7th month in English.

You should study!

Your wife?

Don't worry about her.

She always listens to me.

Yes, I'm busy too.

What's that?

An award! Nice, isn't it?

I've never been given one.

You got one...

just say you were.

People here will be impressed,

you'll be turning them away.

No reason to cheat them!

In any case...

What's it to you if I get students?

Don't you have things to do?

Don't worry about me.

Okay?

Young-mi, you like playing piano?

Isn't your tutor great?

Practice hard.

Then have a good day.

Mr Kim!

I do appreciate your concern.

Don't mention it,

my pleasure.

Just being a Good Samaritan,

that's all.

That's not right, it's Re, Fa...

Don't know, don't know,

don't don't know!

Don't know, don't know,

don't don't know!

I don't know, I don't know.

Gloria, gloria, gloria.

Elocution!

Mouths open, all together.

Like a red rose.

Greet others with a polite wave!

Let us be heard from heaven!

Mouths open wider, please...

And say hello!

Greet others in a loud voice.

Speak loudly and firmly!

- Goodbye.

- Bye, Byung-rok.

- Say hello, Se-min.

- Hello.

Get the door, please.

Piano schools must

do better in Seoul.

I'm not here just to

run a piano school.

I moved here

because I like Miryang.

My husband was born here.

I heard Jun had no father.

But that's too personal...

He was in a road accident.

My husband always said...

...he wanted nothing more

than to move back here.

He said kids should walk

on real earth.

Couldrt agree more!

So I decided to move here.

To fulfil his dream.

I'd like to build a house here...

I'm shopping around.

If you know any good plots of land,

please tell me.

Good plots?

I'll look around.

Wait a moment!

Stay put!

Hello.

Be polite!

Hello.

Are you in middle school?

Answer her!

If someone asks, you answer!

Third year.

You have a pretty daughter.

But she can't behave.

Hey, Mrs Lee!

Hello...

Can you come over

for a minute?

What is it?

It won't take long.

It won't take long.

I have a special gift for you.

What kind of gift?

Mrs Lee from the piano school

is here, dear.

- Welcome.

- Hello.

Well... I...

I heard all about you.

About me?

How you've been hit by tragedy...

Why you've moved to Miryang...

So I'd like...

This is a truly precious gift...

It contains the Word of God.

Read it when you get home.

But I don't believe in

that stuff.

Really? Maybe you believe only

in what you can see?

You doubt what you can't see?

I don't believe everything

I see either!

Mrs Lee, if you look outside...

...you see people and cars.

But there are things

you can't see too!

Oh! Where did Jun go?

Mrs Lee...

When you believe in God...

...you see everything the naked eye

can't see.

I mean...

The world is really

filled with happiness...

With gratitude and

peace of mind.

Before we accept God,

we humans...

...know only half of the world

around us.

Anyway... thanks for the gift.

Yes, for unappy people like yourself,

God's love is crucial.

I'm not unappy, Ma'am,

I'm doing fine.

I have to go,

I can't see my son.

- Do read it.

- Okay.

Jun, where are you?

Are you here?

Jun, where are you?

Jun!

Jun!

Jun... where are you?

Jun!

Jun... where are you?

Jun... where are you?

Jun!

Gotcha!

Where are you going?

Come back!

Award for the Most Outstanding

Performance in Piano...

You got an award, sister?

I used to play pretty well.

I only stopped because

I married so young.

Why did you marry so young?

How's Dad doing?

You know how he is.
